Module Installation Steps
4. Carefully slide the module into the chassis until the module reaches the mating
connector at the rear of the module slot. Then, carefully press the module firmly
toward the rear, so that the socket mounted in the rear of the module slot receives the
module connections fully into the socket.
5. Tighten the two captive screws at each end of the module. These screws should be
tightened firmly, but not over-tightened.
6. Attach the telephone lines, cables, and so forth to the corresponding jacks on the
module front panel. For information about cables and adapters, refer to Cables and
Adapters on page 2-3.
7. If you have a current working configuration and you are replacing an old port
module with a new module of the same type into the same slot, no reconfiguration is
required. However, both a factory configuration reset and subsequent server
configuration are required if you:
•
Install a port module into a previously empty slot.
•
Remove a port module and do not replace it.
•
Replace a port module with a port module of a different type.
•
Swap existing port modules, of different types, between two slots.
Note. The new Current-Loop Only Port module is considered to be a different type from
the old Current-Loop RS232 Port module. Thus, if you decide to use the Current-Loop
Only port module, you will need to perform a factory configuration reset and you must
reconfigure your server.
Before replacing or adding the Current-Loop Only Port module, you should save and store
your configuration.
