Installation and setupStatic Discharge
Whenever handling the XVC-1001-DC and other related equipment, please
observe all static discharge precautions as described in the following
note:
Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such
as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber clothing. Always
exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit boards
and related equipment.
Board Installation
Use the following procedure to install the XVC-1001-DC in an openGear
(DFR-8310-N) distribution frame with cooling fans:
Due to power consumption and heat dissipation requirements, the XVC-
1001-DC must only be installed in a frame with the cooling fan option
installed.
1. Refer to the User Manual of the openGear 8300 series frame
to ensure that the frame is properly installed according to
instructions.
2. A maximum of 8 XVC-1001-DC or other Algogear cards can be
installed in the DFR-8310 series frame.
Do not populate the openGear frame with more than 8 Algogear
cards. Attempting to do so may damage the cards, the frame
or both.
3. After selecting the desired frame and installation slot, hold the
XVC-1001-DC card by the edges and carefully align the card
edges with the slots in the frame. Then fully insert the card into
the frame until the rear connection plugs are properly seated
on the midplane and rear modules.
