Rack Configuration
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.
