Installation

The CM9700-SER-32 port expander assembly increases by 32 the number of available Sercom (serial communication) ports in a node-based
CM9700-CC1 via the installation of an RP (rocket port) PCI expansion card. A maximum of 120 total ports can be achieved by using three
CM9700-SER-32 assemblies in conjunction with the Sercom cards in the CC1. Refer to Figure 1 for assembly detail.

Figure 1.

4 SERCOM CARDS, 1 ROCKET PORT CARD (64 TOTAL PORTS)

1. Turn off all power to the CC1. Disconnect and label all attached cabling.
2. Install the RP card into the CC1. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 and do the following:
a. Remove the top cover mounting screws.
b. From the rear, tilt the top cover up at a slight angle, and then pull backwards away from the front edge to remove the cover from the
CC1 chassis.

NOTE:

If the VGA card is present in PCI slot 2, remove the retaining screw and gently pull the card up. Reinstall the card into PCI slot 4 (follow
steps c and d, applying them to the VGA card and PCI slot 4).
c. Remove the retaining screw and slot cover for PCI slot 2. Slide the cover out.
d. Install the RP card into PCI slot 2. Carefully align the gold-fingered edge connector of the RP card with the PCI slot. Gently but firmly
press the RP card down until fully seated into the PCI slot. Reinstall the retaining screw to secure the RP card into place.

WARNINGS:

Software version 9.03.007 or higher must be installed in the CC1 to enable port expansion ability. If running a previous version, contact Pelco
for software upgrade kit options and availability.

Failure to turn off the CC1 power could result in serious damage to the equipment.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions must be observed when performing the procedures described in this manual. Always wear a
gounding strap connected to an approved grounding source when working on or around exposed electronic components.
