Installing a 3216 BIC
Use the following procedure to install a 3216 BIC:
1. Obtain the appropriate I/O slot number in the system or I/O cabinet from the
completed BIC diagram for the 3216 controller. You can also get this information
from the completed cabinet check list for that cabinet.
2. Remove the protective cable cover from the rear of the cabinet.
3. Locate the BIC slot at the rear of the cabinet that corresponds to the assigned I/O
slot. Remove the BIC filler panel from the slot by turning the retaining screws at
the top and bottom of the panel counterclockwise until the panel is released.
4. Insert the BIC in the slot, sliding the board along the slot rails until the rear-edge
connector makes contact with the backplane connector.
5. Press the front panel of the BIC to fully seat the board into the backplane.
6. Tighten the two retaining screws finger tight.
7. Remove the filler plug, if necessary, from the connector.
8. Do not place the protective cable cover on the rear of the cabinet at this time. Wait
until the fiber-optic cables are connected and the power-on sequence has finished
successfully.
