Replacing the CPU-ETH2 Controller Card

To replace the CPU-ETH2 controller card

1 Open the front door of the frame (see

Opening the front door

, on page 10).

The controller card is located to the right of the power supply slots at the center of the
frame.

2 Hook your finger through the opening at the top of the card.

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

of the frame.

4 Slide the new card into the controller slot, and push gently on the card edge to engage

the rear connectors.

5 Be sure to close the front door before operating the Kaleido-MX, to ensure proper

ventilation (see

Closing the front door

, on page 10).

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 associated 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

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 10).

Note:

Do not pull on the control panel to remove the card.
