procedures outlined in the following section.

Closing and Securing the Outer Housing

Once the card has been replaced, close and re-secure the outer housing:

1. Align the cover back over the unit and gently slide-down the chassis until the openings are aligned

over their respective openings along both the sides and top of the unit.

2. Insert and secure the chassis housing screws back into their respective locations, as shown in FIG. 9

by using a grounded screwdriver.

3. Re-install all connectors and apply power to the unit.

Installing Into An Equipment Rack

Use the rack-mounting brackets (supplied) for equipment rack installations.

Remove the mounting brackets for flat surface installations.

1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.

2. Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 11, using the screws supplied with the

Any new internal card upgrade is detected by the Controller only after power is

cycled.

Before completing the install process, it is recommended that you complete any

firmware upgrade of the NetLinx Control Cards. This upgrade involves physically

cycling power to the unit and can become cumbersome if the unit is already installed

into a rack. Refer to the NI Series NetLinx Integrated Controllers WebConsole &

Programming Guide (available online at www.amx.com) for detailed instructions.
