Matrix Mk.II Rack Installation Manual
Installing the modules
WARNING:
Do not force any module into a connector if
resistance is felt. This could mean that the
wrong module is being inserted into the slot, or
that the connector has a damaged pin.
CAUTION:
SWING FRAME RACK
Before installing any modules, close the swing
frame and lock it.
Step 1: Locate the correct module for each slot and check that the MCBs / RCBOs
on the front panel are switched off. Note that any blank spaces in the rack
should be fitted with ‘airflow’ modules.
Step 2: Slide each module into its appropriate slot in the front of rack, one at a
time. This can be done safely with power applied to the rack. Do not use
excess force if resistance is felt from the connectors. This may be due to
damaged pins, or a stand-off pillar which prevents a 3kW module being
inserted into a 5kW load position. Remove the module and check the
sockets line up correctly and no pins are bent (see diagram below). A
module should slide in and connect with its multi-pin connector smoothly.
When in place, the front panel of each module will be flush with the
surrounding metalwork.
Step 3: Observe the module powering up which, after a short time, will show a
single blue power on LED if all channels are at zero (details are given in
the Matrix II Module Operator manual).
Step 4: Use the screw supplied with the module to fix it in place.
