Matrix Controller Series 3 Cards

Overview

This section contains information on installing the Matrix Controller Series 3 and Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 cards.

Important! Before installing Matrix Controller Series 3 and Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 cards, refer to their Hardware Product Descriptions to make sure that their DIP switch settings are correct and identical.

Installing a Matrix Controller Card

To install a Matrix Controller Series 3 card, complete the following steps:

1 Face the front of the chassis.

2 Locate the two Matrix Controller Series 3 card slots CPU1 and CPU2. In the CSP 2090 and CSP 2000 + these are on the right of the chassis. In the CSP 2040, they are at the top. You must insert a Matrix Controller Series 3 card into one of these slots.

Installing an Matrix Controller card into any slot other than the slots labeled CPU1 and CPU2 will damage the system and/or card.

When securing the card to the chassis, use caution to avoid bending pins on the midplane. Bent pins prevent the connection of the cards to the midplane.

3 Align the Matrix Controller Series 3 card in the card guides. Pull the ejector handles away from the card front panel and slide the card into the slot. When the ejector handles touch the card guides, gently push the handles toward the front panel until the card is fully inserted and flush to the chassis.

Installing a Matrix Controller I/O Card

To install an Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card, complete the following steps:

Installing an Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card into any slot other than the slots labeled CPU1 and CPU2 will damage the system and/or card. When securing the card to the chassis, use caution to avoid bending pins on the midplane. Bent pins prevent a safe and secure midplane card connection and will adversely affect system operations.

Important! Before removing a Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card, push the STOP button on the front panel of the corresponding Matrix Controller Series 3 or standby Matrix Controller Series 3 card.

1 Face the rear of the chassis.

2 Locate the Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 slot (CPU1 or CPU2) that corresponds to slot occupied by the Matrix Controller Series 3 card. You must insert the Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card into one of these slots.

3 Align the Matrix Controller I/O card in the card guides. Pull the ejector handles away from the card front panel and slide the card into the slot. When the ejector handles touch the card guides, gently push the handles toward the front panel until the card is fully inserted and flush to the chassis.
