10.2 Adding Enclosures
You can expand the switching capabilities of a Modula by adding
enclosures. Whenever you add hardware to a Modula you must update
the system’s configuration information by downloading a new
configuration file. A new configuration file, link cables, and other system
products are provided with the new enclosure(s).
When attaching signals, follow the AutoPatch “Modula Connector and
Groupings Guide” included with the new enclosure; all information
specific to the system is on or with that sheet.
Warning: To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive
components, make sure you are properly grounded (see the Caution page
inside front cover) before handling any internal Modula materials.
To add an enclosure:
1. Although it is not necessary to turn all the enclosures in the system
off, we suggest doing so, unless current operations will be disturbed.
2. Link the new enclosure to the other enclosures. See Chapter 3,
“Linking Enclosures” for more information about linking enclosures
and linking multiple enclosures.
