Installing the 201i server in a large Meridian 1 system

Standard 1.03

Repositioning the secondary backplane connector

Introduction

The secondary backplane (DS30X) connector on the 201i server connects the server to the second slot on the shelf, thereby providing access to the voice channels provided by that slot.

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

The 201i server ships ready for installation into an Option 11C or Option 11C Mini switch. Before you install the 201i server in a larger Meridian 1 switch (for example, Option 51C), you must move the secondary backplane (DS30X) connector to the correct position.

Why you must move the connector

There is an approximate difference of 2 mm (0.08 in) between slots on a Meridian 1 tiered system and an Option 11C or Option 11C Mini system. As a result, you must install the secondary backplane (DS30X) connector on the 201i server in the correct position before a successful connection with the switch backplane can be established.

ATTENTION

 

A yellow warning label over the top lock latch on the

 

 

201i server prevents you from securing the 201i server

 

in a slot. This label serves as a reminder to move the

 

secondary backplane connector to the Meridian 1

 

position, if required, before installing the 201i server

 

into the slot.
