Replacing Cards

All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on. Each card has a
connector which plugs into the frame’s backplane for distribution of power and connection
to the controller card, and one or two connectors (depending on the card type) that plug
into the rear panel for inputs and outputs.

Removing a card

To remove a card

1 Open the front door of the frame (see

Opening the front door

, on page 8).

2 Tilt the swivel handle, on the front of the card you wish to remove, to lever the

connectors apart, and then use the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.

3 Close the front door of the frame (see

Closing the front door

, on page 9).

Installing a card

To install a card in a Kaleido-MX (1RU)

2 To install a card into an empty slot, slide the card into the slot, with the swivel handle to

the right, and push gently on the handle to seat the connectors. Inserting the card into
the wrong slot will not damage the card, and will be flagged by the on-card status LED
flashing to indicate that there is no connection to the rear panel.

3 Close the front door of the frame (see

Closing the front door

Replacing the CPU-ETH2 Controller Card

In a Kaleido-MX (1RU), the controller card is located on the upper left-hand side of the
frame, above the left-hand power supply.

2 Grasp the metal handle on the upper left-hand side of the card; the handle will slide out

so that it can be gripped properly.

3 Pull gently until the card is released from the rear connector, and then slide the card out

of the frame.

Note:

Removing more than one input card from a Kaleido-MX system in

operation is not supported.
