CAUTION
When inserting the module, avoid touching the circuit board and
connector pins, and make sure the environment is static-free.
The EXM-MX Mass Storage module is always inserted as the rightmost module of the
EPC-5A subsystem. Insert it so that its rear connector mates with the lower rightmost
connector of the subplane. Insert it using adequate continuous force rather than
tapping or hammering on it. Tighten the top and bottom front-panel screws to hold it
firmly in place.
EXM Module Insertion
One or two EXMs may be installed through the front panels of the EPC-5A and each
EXP-MC Module Carrier. To install an EXM:
q Remove and save the blank face plate from the desired slot.
q Slide the EXM into place in the card guides. Push firmly on the EXM front
panel until the EXM card-edge connector is firmly seated in the subplane
connector.
q Tighten the thumb screws on the EXM’s face plate.
Each EXM must be configured in the EPC-5A’s BIOS to set how the EXM should be
initialized on power-up. This information is slot specific. Although EXMs can be
installed in any available carrier slot, once an EXM is installed, it cannot be moved
without re-configuring the BIOS setup. Configuring the BIOS setup is discussed in
the next chapter.
