Installation

Installing the NIP400 Line Interface Card

BROADway supports up to eight NIP400 quad T1/E1 line interface cards installed in slots NIP-1

through NIP-8. To support NIP400 redundant operation, you must install a NIP400 card in slot NIP-8.

To install the NIP400, open the ejector tab and slide the card into its proper slot until you feel resistance,

then push to close the ejector tab into its locking position against the metal rail (the NIP400 has a single

ejector only). Check that the card is firmly in place by applying pressure to the ejector tab and the edge

of the circuit board to seat the card fully into the chassis. If you are replacing a NIP400 card, wait at

least three seconds after removing a NIP400 card before inserting a new one.

WARNING! WHEN INSTALLING OR REPLACING BROADWAY HARDWARE, ALWAYS ADHERE

TO GOOD PRACTICE WITH RESPECT TO ESD PROCEDURES—USE A REGULARLY AND PROPERLY

TESTED GROUNDING STRAP.
