Installation 9/35

2 Installation

2.1 Installing NPIX (standard procedure)

This section describes how to install the NPIX Extension Module in the

netPI.

Requirements

Electrostatically sensitive devices

When installing the NPIX Extension Module: Take the necessary

precautions for handling components that are vulnerable to electrostatic

discharge.

ØTake care to touch the NPIX Extension Module only at its casing or

front panel. Do not touch the metal contacts on the PCB.

ØBefore installation, touch a grounded object to discharge potential

static.

ØWear an approved grounding wrist strap.

ØIf available, use a static-safe workstation.

·If your netPI has already been installed in a switch cabinet, remove the

device from the top hat rail and disconnect all cables from the device.

netPI Extension Modules | NPIX

Installation 10/35

Step-by-step instructions

ØRemove the screws of the cover of the extension slot at the bottom of

the netPI.

Figure1: Remove cover of extension slot

Figure2: Extension slot with cover removed

ØInsert the NPIX module into the extension slot. Take care to fit the

guiding rail/slit at the upper module cover correctly into the guiding pin

of the extension slot.

Figure3: Inserting module

ØPush the module into the slot until it reaches its final position.

netPI Extension Modules | NPIX

Installation 11/35

ØTighten the screws at the module.

Note:

If you have difficulties to tighten the screws, this may be due to the

module being slightly tilted and the connector pins thus not fitting

properly into the extension socket of the netPI. In this case, it can

be useful to open the casing of the netPI and to proceed as

described in section Installing NPIX with open netPI

casing [}page12].

Figure4: Tighten screws of the extension module

ØStick the label (included in the delivery of the module) onto the casing of

the netPI.

Figure5: Attach label sideways

ðYou have installed the NPIX Extension Module.

Installation 12/35

2.2 Installing NPIX with open netPI casing

This section describes how to install the NPIX Extension Module in the

netPI with the upper casing of the netPI removed. The installation with an

opened casing allows you free sight of the expansion socket inside the

netPI, thus enabling you to check whether you have fitted the connector

pins of the module properly into the expansion socket.

Requirements

Electrostatically sensitive devices

When installing the NPIX Extension Module: Take the necessary

precautions for handling components that are vulnerable to electrostatic

discharge.

ØTake care to touch the netPI and NPIX Extension Module only at their

casings respectively front panels. Do not touch the metal contacts on

the PCBs.

ØBefore installation, touch a grounded object to discharge potential

static.

ØWear an approved grounding wrist strap.

ØIf available, use a static-safe workstation.

·If your netPI has already been installed in a switch cabinet, remove the

device from the top hat rail and disconnect all cables from the device.

Installation 13/35

Step-by-step instructions

ØRemove the screws of the cover of the extension slot at the bottom of

the netPI.

Figure6: Remove cover of extension slot

Figure7: Extension slot with cover removed

netPI Extension Modules | NPIX

Installation 14/35

The casing of the netPI is held together by six screws.

ØRemove the screws:

Figure8: Screws on the top side

Figure9: Screws on the lower side

ØRemove the upper casing by sliding it from the netPI device in the

direction of the antenna. Take care not to damage the antenna.

Figure10: Remove casing

ÊYou now have free sight of the expansion socket on the netPI PCB.

netPI Extension Modules | NPIX

Installation 15/35

ØInsert the NPIX module into the extension slot. Take care to fit the

guiding rail/slit at the upper module cover correctly into the guiding pin

of the extension slot.

Figure11: Inserting module

ØPush the module into the slot until it reaches its final position.

Figure12: Connector pins correctly fitted to the extension slot

Take care to insert the module horizontally. If the module is tilted

downwards, the connector pins of the module might jam at the lower part of

the extension socket.

Figure13: Connector pins jammed

3 Pinning of the extension socket

The following table shows the pinning of the extension socket inside the

netPI.

Note:

Please note that the extension socket mechanically resembles the

Mini PCI Express format, but is - due to its proprietary pinning - in

electric respect not a "real" Mini PCIe interface.
