2 Installation

Typically the PRI card will be set up with the 8-position DIP switches all in the DOWN (Closed) position. This setting is for a T1 long haul configuration. If your configuration is different, set the 8-position DIP switches according to the T1 or E1 DIP Switch 5 thru 8 Configuration listing in Chapter 1 of this User Guide.

Warning:

Power the CommPlete system off before installing the PRI card. Under no circumstances should the PRI card be installed in an energized system.

Perform the following steps to install the PRI card in the CommPlete chassis:

1.Unpack the PRI card from its packaging and save the packaging for possible future use. Perform a visual inspection of the card. If you are concerned about its condition, call Technical Support for instructions.

2.Determine the operating mode of the PRI card, refer to the T1/E1 DIP Switch 5 thru 8 Configuration listings in Chapter 1 of this User Guide.

3.The PRI card must be installed next to the RASCard in the chassis. Remove a blank panel or previous PRI card from that slot.

4.Supporting the PRI card by the front panel and the bottom edge of the card, place it into the open slot. Make sure the edges of the PRI card mate properly with the metal guides in the chassis.

5.Slide the PRI card into the chassis until you feel the card’s connectors mate with the chassis bus connectors.

6.Tighten the PRI card retaining screws.

7.Connect the PRI card to the T1/E1 line.
