Important: The blade running the node application software must be attached
to the leftmost connector on the ribbon cable.
Figure 5. Ribbon cable bus viewed from above.
Position numbers are determined by the connector position on the blade itself.
For more information, see the sections “Connecting Readers” (page 12),
“Connecting Inputs” (page 14), and “Connecting Outputs” (page 20).
CAUTION: Blades are not hot-swappable. Before connecting or disconnecting
blades in the cabinet, be sure to remove power from the system,
after stopping all processes.
To install a slot-mounted blade in the cabinet:
1. Log into the application.
2. Select Setup : System Maintenance : Utility.
3. Click the Shutdown now button to perform an orderly shutdown of the
system.
Using the Shutdown utility will ensure that the security database is saved.
4. Once you hear a double beep, remove power from the system.
5. Thread the provided standoff tube down onto the threaded post on the
chassis, next to the slot where you will insert the additional blade.
6. Be sure that you are grounded, and then insert the additional blade into the
slot on the chassis with the ribbon cable connector toward the bottom of the
cabinet. See the following diagram.
7. Place the provided lock washer over the top of the standoff, and thread the
provided screw through the flange and down into the top of the standoff and
snugly down onto the lock washer. See the following diagram.
