2 Installing the 9084 Into a Frame Slot

Note: • If installing the 9084 in an 8310-C-BNC or 8310-BNC frame (which is pre-equipped with a 100-BNC rear I/O module installed across the entire backplane) or a slot already equipped with a suitable I/O module, proceed to card installation steps below.

•If installing the 9084 in a slot with no rear I/O module, an optional RM-9084-A Rear I/O Module is required before cabling can be connected. Install the Rear I/O Module as described in Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-3).

CAUTION

If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) are installed before installing the 9084 into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.

Note: Check the packaging in which the 9084 was shipped for any extra items such as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank correspond- ing to the slot location of the card.

Install the 9084 into a frame slot as follows:

1.Determine the slot in which the 9084 is to be installed.

2.Open the frame front access panel.

3.While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.

4.Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the card is being installed.

5.Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.

CAUTION

If card resists fully engaging in rear I/O module mating connector, check for alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or rear I/O module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.

6.Verify that the card is fully engaged in rear I/O module mating connector.

7.Close the frame front access panel.

8.Connect the input and output cables as shown in Figure 2-1.

9.Repeat steps 1 through 8 for other 9084 cards.

Note: The 9084 BNC inputs are internally 75-ohm terminated. It is not necessary to terminate unused BNC inputs or outputs.
