QX-5000 Series Installation and Operation Manual

Installing and Removing QIF-5000B Interface Module and

Amplifier Modules

Installing the QIF-5000B Interface Module and QAA Amplifier Modules

1. Hold the module to be installed by the backplate edges. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on

the module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.

2. Line up the module being installed with the two plastic runners on the card cage and slide the module back to

the point where the module just about touches the pins on the QMB-5000B motherboard.

3. Make sure that the module is square with the motherboard.

4. Gently push the module forward to line up the module connector with the motherboard pins. Once you have a

sense of feel that the module connector and the motherboard pins are properly lined up, place one thumb on

the top edge of the backplate and the other thumb on the bottom of the backplate and carefully push the

module in. You should hear a slight thud sound when the module is snapped into place.

Removing the QIF-5000B Interface Module

1. Disconnect all cables connected to the module. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on the

module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.

2. Place one finger of one hand to the top back edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame, and one finger

of the other hand to the bottom edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame.

3. Carefully pull and rock the module forward until the module connector is disconnected from the motherboard

pins.

4. Holding the module firmly by the backplate edges, slide the module forward and completely remove it from the

card cage.

Removing the QAA Amplifier Modules

1. Disconnect all cables connected to the Module. Do not handle, push or pull any of the components on the

module (especially not the transformer) as this will damage those components.

2. Place the forefinger of one hand on the top inside edge of the front heat sink (the heat sinks are the two long

silver channel-like metal covers opposite the backplate) and the forefinger of the other hand on the bottom

edge of the backplate behind the card cage frame.

3. Carefully pull and rock the module forward until the module connector is disconnected from the motherboard

pins.

4. Holding the module firmly by the backplate edges, slide the module forward and completely remove it from the

card cage.

ATTENTION: Improper installation or excessive force will damage the motherboard and modules being

installed or removed.

Note: If the module connector is not properly lined up with the motherboard pins, or if excessive force is

used, the pins on the motherboard can be damaged.

ATTENTION: Power should be disconnected before removing and inserting module.
