CSX-COMP/ENCR Installation
This section contains instructions on how to install the CSX-COMP/ENCR into the CSX400
motherboard. To help eliminate any potential problems during or after installation, read and
understand all of the following steps:
1. Attach one end of the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and the other end to an approved
electrical ground.
2. Unpack the CSX-COMP/ENCR by carefully removing it from the shipping box and then from
the protective plastic bag. Do not cut the bag as the device could be damaged. If there are any
signs of damage, contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center (refer to the Getting Help
section).
3. Power down the CSX400 before you install the CSX-COMP/ENCR.
4. Remove the chassis cover of the CSX400 or CSX400-DC to install the CSX-COMP/ENCR
(refer to Removing the CSX400 Cover, on page 58 or Removing the CSX400-DC Cover, on
page 59).
5. Locate the D-Type connector and the standoffs on the CSX400 (refer to Figure 14).
6. The D-Type connector pins of the CSX-COMP/ENCR only fit one way onto the CSX400
D-Type connector. Lower the CSX-COMP/ENCR onto the standoffs and align the connector
with the connector pins. Carefully insert the connector pins of the CSX-COMP/ENCR into the
CSX400 connector.
7. Press down firmly on the CSX-COMP/ENCR until the pins fit all the way into the connector.
8. Secure the CSX-COMP/ENCR with the standoff screws supplied with the CSX-COMP/ENCR.
The CSX-COMP/ENCR installation is complete.
NOTE
The motherboard of the CSX400 has two D-Type connectors. Use the left-most
connector (as you are facing the front of the chassis). Ensure the CSX-COMP/ENCR
is aligned such that its connector pins correctly align with the D-Type connector on the
chassis or module.
