5. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the module in the I/O chassis
backplane connectors. Make sure the plastic tabs snap into the
rack.
6. Connect the SCANport cable(s) from the SCANport device(s) to
the SCANport connections in the front of the module.
Important: You must keep in mind that the maximum cable
distance between any two devices connected to a
single channel cannot exceed 10 meters (33 feet)
of cable. Also, the SCANport cables must not
be in close contact with the power cables.
You can insert or remove SCANport cables while a rack is powered.
If a cable is removed while the channel is enabled, the connected
SCANport device will fault unless otherwise configured at the
SCANport device.
To remove the SLC to SCANport module from the chassis, you need
to:
1. Remove the SCANport cables.
2. Make sure the rack power is removed.
3. Push in on the hooks on both ends of the module.
4. Gently pull the module from the chassis.
The SLC to SCANport module can operate in either basic mode or
enhanced mode. Refer to Chapter 1 for a description of basic mode
