GarrettCom 8000X manual 2b Inserting PM Cards into a Magnum, Removing PM Cards

Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hubs Installation and User Guide (05/ 02)

connector pins on the bottom of the PM card with the connector socket inside the unit. The pins are slightly angled to facilitate the installation. (Do NOT straighten the pins before insertion !!)

Step 3. Be sure the pins are precisely aligned with the holes in the header, and the PM front panel is guided into the front slot cut-out. Then, slowly and carefully apply enough pressure to insert the PM card’s pins into position, see Figure 3.9.2b. (If you force the PM down when the pins are not properly aligned with the holes in the header, the pins will become bent and the PM is damaged).

Once inserted, the PM card will be secured by the header connector, the front panel port slot cut-out, and retaining screws.

NOTE: If a PM is difficult to install, try it in another port slot. Some of the port modules may fit easily in one port slot and be very hard to install in another.

NOTE: All PM slots need not be filled in order for the Magnum 8000X unit to be operational. When leaving PM slots empty, always use a face plate (Magnum PM-FP) to cover the slot opening in the front panel. This will maintain proper cooling air flow, safety, and operation as required by FCC, CE, and other regulations.

Step 4. Once all PM cards have been installed (including face plates for empty slots), the chassis cover should be replaced.
