2. Installation
2.1. Module Installation
The Expander Interface Modules may reside in any of the I/O slots within the Controller Chassis. The
modules are installed in pairs with the left-hand module occupying an odd numbered slot. The
Expander Interface must NOT be installed in these other module locations, as this may cause
damage to the module.
The two Interface slots must be interconnected using the Expander Interface Adaptor Unit T8312.
The Expander Interface Modules are connected to the Expander Processor Modules by the Expander
Interface Hot Link Cable TC-301 via the Trusted
TM Expander Interface Adaptor Unit T8312.
The connection to remote Expander Chassis is via the Trusted TM Fibre Optic Tx/Rx Unit using the
Expander Interface Adaptor to Fibre Tx/Rx Unit (Remote Expanders) Cable TC-302.
2.2. Module Insertion and Removal
CAUTION:
THE MODULE CONTAINS STATIC SENSITIVE PARTS. STATIC HANDLING PRECAUTIONS MUST
BE OBSERVED. SPECIFICALLY ENSURE THAT EXPOSED CONNECTOR PINS ARE NOT
TOUCHED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MODULE HOUSING BE REMOVED.
Before installation, visually inspect the module for damage. Ensure that the module housing appears
undamaged and inspect the I/O connector at the back of the module for bent pins. If the module
appears damaged or any pins are bent, do not install the module. Do not try to straighten bent pins.
Return the module for replacement.
Ensure that the module is of the correct type.
Record the module type, revision and serial number of the module before installation.
If the module is to reside in a new chassis, or the system is being configured for the first time, ensure
that the chassis address has been set correctly before installing the modules. See Controller Chassis
Product Description (PD-8100) for further details.
To install the module:
1. Ensure that the cable assembly is correctly located.
2. Release the ejector tabs on the module using the release key. Ensure that the ejector tabs
are fully open.
3. Holding the ejectors, carefully insert the module into the intended slot.
4. Push the module fully home but pressing on the top and bottom of the module fascia.
5. Close the module ejectors, ensuring that they click into their locked position.
