2.3.3. Installing a Module
1. Orient the module vertically such that the smaller 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.
2.3.4. 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.
2.4. MOUNTING
The EMR 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 the
area below them to be flush so that there is sufficient room to open the frame door
completely and be able to remove the modules.
After the unit has been installed in a rack, all cards in the frame should be checked to ensure they are fully
seated within the frame. This is best accomplished by simply pushing (simultaneously, with moderate
force) on each card’s top and bottom insertion/extraction levers. See section
2.3.3 for further information.
This step should be repeated any time the frame is shipped, or relocated within a facility.
2.5. COOLING
The EMR frame is designed to ensure adequate cooling for up to 650 watts (3000FR and EMX6-FR) or
360 watts (EMX3-FR) of processing power per frame. Fans at the front and rear of each power supply
module accomplish forced air-cooling. Adjacent equipment may be mounted immediately to the top and
bottom of the frame. Additional module cooling is provided by interior cooling channels to ensure that
even fully loaded frames mounted adjacent to each other will operate within the normal temperature
range.
