Further details of the Expander Bus cable assembly are provided in the associated Product Description
(PD-TC300).
2.3.1. Cable Assembly Replacement
It is not intended that the cable should need replacement, however this may be achieved by
replacement of the complete cable assembly that requires that the system be shutdown. To remove a
cable:
1. Ensure that the correct chassis and slot positions are selected.
2. Ensure the associated chassis slots are not occupied by modules.
3. Press in the hood release button and slide the hood downwards.
4. Remove the hood from the chassis slot by sliding down and rearward.
To insert a new or replacement cable:
1. Ensure that the correct chassis and slot positions are selected.
2. Ensure that the associated chassis slots are not occupied by modules.
3. Present the connector to the chassis backplate slot, taking care to align the lugs of the
connector with the cut-outs of the slot.
4. Push the connector hood in and upwards into the slot until the latch engages with the
backplate lip.
5. Ensure that the connector hood is secure in its position.
Where it is critical to maintain system operation additional chassis may be installed and on-line
operation maintained by transferred control to modules within that chassis using the I/O modules
SmartSlot capability.
