2. INTRODUCTION
This guide concerns the installation of one or more option cards.
The operation and use of these option cards is presented in the full Netsilon 9/11 guide (available from the website
www.bodet-time.com).
2.1 Checking the package
Carefully unpack and check the contents of the package. These should include:
> The option card(s),
> Accessories for mounting the option card(s).
2.2 Savingtheconguration
We recommend that you save the current Netsilon configuration before installing an option card.
To save a configuration via the Netsilon web server, follow these steps:
1) SYSTEM menu > Tools > Updating and backup.
2) Click , and a file named “export.nets” will download to your PC.
2.3 Safety
Netsilon can be equipped with several power supply sources: if both AC and DC power supply options are
present, turning off the switch on the rear panel will not disconnect all power supply sources.
Ensure that all power supply sources have been removed from the Netsilon device before
taking off the cover and opening the product.
Only open the device in order to add or change option cards:
> Never open the product with the power supply or supplies connected.
> Ensure that all power supply sources are removed from the device before installing the option cards: unplug
the AC and/or DC power supplies connected to the equipment (or dual mains power supply according to your
model).
The switch is of functional type. It is not a power supply disconnect switch. Disconnect the power
supply and relay circuits before any intervention.
Fibre optic: risk to your eyes.
When inspecting a connector, make sure that the light sources are turned off. The light source in the
fibre optic cables may damage your eyes.

3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The installation method is identical regardless of the option card installed. However, there are some specific
operations to be performed depending on the option card to install. Please note the following slots compatibility:
- Slot A / B : NETWORK (port RJ45) and NETWORK FIBRE (port SFP) option cards,
- Slot A / B / C / D : PTP (RJ45 + SFP), IRIG INPUT and IRIG OUTPUT option cards.
If the new option card is installed in place of an existing option card (involving removal of the latter),
it is necessary to uninstall the removed option card via the web server (see Chapter 5.5 Removing an
option card). Once this uninstallation has been completed, the product will redetect the option card
with its new slot number.

3) Determine the location of the option card (respect slot compatibility).
4) Remove the aluminium cover from the desired location (slot) using the Torx T10 screwdriver:
5) Fit the option card, ensuring that the output(s) of the option card are aligned with the opening:
For IRIG INPUT and IRIG OUTPUT option cards, unscrew and remove the nut and the washer on the
BNC connector(s) (hexagonal socket spanner 14).

7) Attach the aluminium cover in order to close up the space around the option card:
Repeat these 5 steps for each option card you wish to install.
Do not use screws other than those supplied, as inappropriate lengths may damage some components.
For the IRIG INPUT and IRIG OUTPUT option cards, replace the washer and screw the nut back onto
the BNC connector(s) to tighten it onto the aluminium cover.
8) Perform the following operations:
- Ethernet RJ45 / Ethernet SFP / PTP option card : connect the SATA cable linking the Network card(s) or PTP to
the Netsilon motherboard :
Slot A
Slot B
Slot CSlot D
SATA

slot D
This operation is valid for the Network option card (RJ45), the Network Fiber option card (SFP) and
the PTP option card (RJ45 / SFP).
Be sure to connect the SATA cable to the correct connector on the motherboard corresponding to the
slot where the option card is installed.

The MCX coaxial cable of the PTP card smust be connected here
This operation is only valid for the PTP option card.
- For the IRIG INPUT option card, position the jumper to select the input impedance: 4.7K / 600 / 50 Ohms or high
impedance (no jumper). By default, the jumper is positioned on the option card for 600 Ohms.
