Multi-Modular I/O System
To install an I/O card in an F6 card slot:
Start with all power to the F6 Modular I/O Frame off. 1.
Do not remove or install I/O cards while the F6 is powered on.
Place the F6 on a clean, level work surface with the I/O slots facing up.
2.
Use a size #1 Phillips screwdriver or 3/16-inch 3. hex nut driver to remove the screws that hold
the card slot’s cover plate in place.
Retain the blank
4. cover plates that ship with the F6 Modular I/O Frame for future use; they
will help protect the I/O connectors and keep dust out of the F6 unit.
Remove the I/O card from its packaging.
5.
Align the multi-pin connector on the rear of the I/O card with the matching connector on 6.
the F6 Modular I/O Frame.
Press firmly on the I/O card, applying firm, even pressure enough to seat the card in its
7.
backplane connector on the F6.
Reattach the two screws removed from the cover plate to secure the card to the F6 unit. *
8.
Repeat this procedure for any remaining I/O cards to be installed. 9.
P N
ote
: Always secure all installed I/O cards using the screws provided before transporting the F6.
* The optional HK6 Security Hardware Kit for F6 can be used instead of the standard screws if additional security
is required for an installation.
Installing the F6 Mounting Brackets
The F6 Modular I/O Frame ships with a pair of right angle mounting brackets that can be used to attach the F6 to
a flush-mount or surface-mount plate when the device is installed into an electrical box, floor pocket, stage box,
etc. The brackets attach to the F6 with a pair of screws; only a Phillips screwdriver is required for installation. Each
bracket also has two threaded inserts designed to accept size 8-32 bolts when mounting the assembled F6 to a
wall plate. (The brackets are not required for rack-mount installations.)
For maximum installation flexibility, the brackets can be installed flush with either the front or rear face of the
F6 Modular I/O Frame. If desired, the brackets can also be used to secure the F6 directly to a wall or other solid
surface without a surrounding electric box.
