Step 8: Install the BSIS (optional)
The BSIS provides four RS-232 serial ports.
! To install the BSIS, align the BSIS pins over the GCTU2 and press down firmly (see Figure
1-18). Note that if the BSIS card has an “Up Arrow” it will be pointed down. This is normal, it
does not require adjustment, refer to Figure 1-21.

Step 9: Install the HPFB-6 (Reserve Power Battery/Charger)
One or two HPFB-6 optional units can be added to the CIX40 to provide reserve power. The
amount of reserve power time depends on the hardware (see Table 1-13). The table below is an
estimate of battery backup time based on the premise that the HPFB-6 unit(s) are fully charged at
the time of AC power failure. This estimated backup time is based on low call traffic, the time
estimates will be reduced by as much as half with extreme heavy traffic volumes.
1. Place the HPFB-6 directly below the Strata CIX40 Cabinet. See Figure 1-23 for minimum
clearance requirements. A second HPFB-6 can be installed directly below the unit to supply
backup reserve power.
2. Mark the location of the two screw holes, then drill holes.
3. Screw the two screws two-thirds into the mounting surface.
4. Hang the HPFB-6 on the screws then tighten the screws into the mounting surface.
5. Remove the tape covering the BATT connector, the plug the first HPFB-6 connector into BATT
connector P10 on GMAU2.
