2.2.2. Opening and Closing the Front Panel
In order to insert or remove modules you will have to open the front panel using the following
procedure:
1. Turn the two captive screws located on the front panel counter clockwise several turns until they
release completely from the front extrusions.
2. Carefully lower the front panel door so that the front edge of the door is lower than the rear of the
door.
2.2.3. Installing a Module
1. Orient the module vertically such that the smaller green/white card ejector is on the bottom, while
the larger black card ejector is on the top.
2. Align the card with the card guide corresponding to the slot number where you installed the rear
panel plate.
3. Carefully slide the module into the frame and press it completely into the rear panel connectors.
4. Use the upper card-ejector to latch the module into the slot.
5. Make sure that the connectors are fully seated in the rear panel.
6. When this is done, close the front panel and then tighten the screws that hold the rear panel in
place.
2.2.4. Removing a Module
1. Press the card ejector down to release the module.
2. Grasp the card using the upper card ejector and pull the module out from the frame.
3. Carefully place the module in a safe place, free from static discharge.
2.3. MOUNTING
The EMC frame is equipped with rack mounting rails and fits into a standard rack space. The 3000FR
requires a 19” x 10.5” x 14.5” (483 mm x 260 mm x 368 mm) space, the EMX6-FR requires a 19” x
10.5” x 15.75” (483 mm x 260 mm x 400 mm) space, and the EMX3-FR requires a 19” x 5.25” x 15.75”
(483 mm x 133 mm x 400 mm) space. To securely fasten the frame to the equipment rack, make sure
that all four mounting screws on each mounting rail are tightened securely.
Note: The EMX6-FR and EMX3-FR have front mounted cooling fans and require that
the area below is flush and that there is sufficient room to open the frame
completely to be able to remove the modules.
