HARDWARE
Before you proceed with the installation of the board, make sure that the backplane technology
matches with the board technology (power supply, busses, etc ...).
CompactPCI headers located on the backplane are fragile
Ensure that the board is properly inserted into the board guide and connectors are aligned with
its related slot. If there is any resistance, do not use force to engage the board
Installation:
When the system is up and running, it is important to install the Rear Access I/O Module first
then complete with the installation of the Front Module.
Removal:
When the system is up and running, it is important to remove the Front Module first then
complete with the removal of the Rear Access I/O Module.
Caution:
The Rear Access I/O Module must not be installed or removed as long as Front Module is
present in the system.
For complete information on hardware installation, refer to the User’s Guide.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
DS3 CONNECTION
The physical media consists of two 75-ohm coaxial cable links (with RJ-59 BNC connectors), one
for each direction of transmission.
Insertion loss and phase characteristics for cables are as follows:
For complete specifications, please refer to ANSI T1.102-1993.
RS-232 CONNECTION
The RS-232 interface be connected to an RS-232 terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation
