Installing a Module
Installing a Module for Use with Cables
If you are planning to use an optional terminal block to connect your external
wiring, skip to the next section. If you are planning to use cables for your external
connections, follow the procedure below to install a plug-in module:
1 Install the module into a mainframe slot until it fully seats with the backplane
connector.
2 Using a Pozidriv #1 screwdriver, tighten the two screws to secure the module
in the mainframe. Installation is now complete.
Do not block air intake or exhaust vents at the sides of the instrument.
Applies to the multiplexer and matrix modules only — The Safety Interlock
feature prevents connections to the Analog Buses from a module if a terminal
block or properly-wired cable is not connected to that module. If proper
connections are not present, the Analog Bus relays will be disabled on that
module and the front panel Safety Interlock display annunciator will turn on.
