Installing and Removing an E-IPA-HX Card
To install an E-IPA-HX card:
-
Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the card is aligned with the top and bottom precision guides.
Note: Clear-Com recommends that you place the E_IPA-HX card in the right-hand slot of an Omega or Median matrix or in the bottom slot of a Delta matrix. This maximizes power efficiency.
- Push the card toward the backplane connectors.
- When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open the two ejector tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix. Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane connector guides.
- Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, to propel the card into the backplane connectors.
Note: | It is best practice to position an E-IPA card on the right side of a Median or Omega matrix and in the bottom slots of a Delta matrix. These positions are closest to the power rails and the card has a high power requirement. |
To remove an E-IPA-HX card from the matrix
- Hold the card in place in the matrix.
- The two card ejector tabs are located at the top and bottom of the card. To remove a card, open the two ejector tabs at the same time until the card unseats from its backplane connectors.
- Pull the card out of the matrix.
Note: | As with all Eclipse Cards, the front card is hot-swappable, but the backplane card connector is not. When putting the cards back onto a matrix, as well as when you remove it, the frame's power must be turned off. |
