2.6 Installation
The Line Cards for the FRM301 are Media Converter Cards which slide into the
FRM301 chassis, and interface with the pack panel "main board". The back panel
provides a connection to the converter cards for power and serial control. When the
SNMP and Control cards are installed, the rack and all line cards become
manageable by industry standard SNMP protocol. The media converter cards are
designed to be "hot" swappable, meaning the FRM301 chassis need not be powered
off in order to remove or replace a card. Removal and installation of converter cards
with the rack chassis under power will not effect the operation of other converter
cards.
Removal of a converter card is accomplished by loosing the two (2) captive
screws (upper and lower) and then pulling the card straight out of the chassis with
the same screws. Apply equal pulling force to both top and bottom captive screws to
avoid the card binding in the rails of the chassis. Replace the card by reversing the
procedure, align in the slot groove and gently seat the card, retightening the captive
screws.
To convert a standalone media converter for use in the FRM301 rack, first
remove the two flat head screws on the side panel. Then slide the cover as indicated
in figure 3-1, Step1. Second, attach the card brackets as shown in figure3-1, Step2.
Lastly, insert the card into the FRM301 rack as in figure 3-1, Step3.
