Shark Interface Module (M/N 57C554)

The Shark Interface module is a printed circuit board assembly that

plugs into the backplane of a Shark rack in the first slot to the right of

the power supply.
It consists of a printed circuit board and a faceplate. The faceplate

contains tabs at the top and bottom to simplify removing the module

from the rack. On the back of the module are two connectors that

attach to the system backplane. Module dimensions are given in

Appendix A.
The faceplate of the module contains one 9Ćpin female DĆshell

connector labeled NETWORK." See figure 2.2. This connector

allows the module to connect to the Remote I/O network.
The module faceplate contains two green status LEDs. When lit, the

top LED, labeled CPU OK," indicates that the module has passed its

powerĆup diagnostics and is operating properly. When lit, the bottom

LED, labeled COM OK," indicates that the module is communicating

on the Remote I/O network. When the LED is flashing, it indicates that

an invalid drop number has been selected on the rotary switch,

which is described below .
The 16Ćposition rotary switch is used to select the Shark rack's

Remote I/O drop number (1 to 7 or 9 to F). This switch is read only on

powerĆup. If it is necessary to change the rack's drop number, you

must change the setting of the rotary switch and then cycle power.
