Assembly
If starting with an empty R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 rack
frame please follow the following steps for correct
installation of the Series 5000 Card Modules
Rack Layout Considerations
If you have a variety of module types it’s a good
idea to plan the order in which you install the
various CardModules. While a module can occupy
any of the 10 available slots provided,
consideration can be given to the position of the
modules in the rack to facilitate external wiring.
Figure 10 shows a layout example.
Rear Connection Plates
The series 5000 CardModule is supplied with a
connection plate and two screws. This is fitted to
the rear of the rack frame behind the module.
Position the connection pate on the rear mounting
rails (figure 2) and secure with the two screws
provided. Do not fully tighten the screws initially.
Test fit the module into the rack and make sure the
edge connector from the CardModule is aligned
correctly with the connection plate. When
alignment is correct, tighten the two screws.
Remove and insert the CardModule a few times to
check installation. If the CardModule sticks, or
installation is in anyway difficult loosen the
connection pate screws and check alignment.
Repeat this process for each CardModule.
Note. It is important to note the order of the
CardModules on the front of the rack.
