Installing Transmitter and Receiver Boards into the Enclosure
Any combination of up to four transmitter or receiver boards can be installed in the PowerCage enclosure.
The quantity and type of boards vary depending on the configuration for each installation site.
Before installing the boards in the enclosure, refer to the model-specific guide for each PowerCage
transmitter and receiver board you are installing. The guides describe the features of each board and how
to set up and cable it.
NOTE: The power supplies and boards are hot-swappable; they can be installed or removed
without turning off or disconnecting the power to the PowerCage 401 enclosure.
CAUTIONS:

• Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it. Keep the board in
the anti-static bag until it is needed.
• Prenez les précautions ESD lorsque vous installez une carte afin d’éviter de
l’endommager. Gardez la carte dans le sachet dépoussiérant jusqu’à ce que vous en
ayez besoin.
• Use proper grounding techniques during installation.
• Utilisez des techniques de mise à la terre correctes pendant l’installation.
1. Where applicable, remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the rear of the
PowerCage Enclosure as necessary to accommodate the number of new boards to be installed.
2. Carefully slide the board into the slot, aligning the bottom edge of the board with the left and right
board mounting slides on the bottom of the enclosure slot. Push the board completely into the slot and
finger-tighten the two top screws while pushing in the screws to secure the board in place. See the
illustration on the following page.
