Port card installation

Adding or replacing port cards will require the system to be taken out of service (the ESI-50L doesn’t support

“hot-swapping” of its port cards).

Important: The ESI-50L can use only the 482 port card (see “Port card options,” page A.1).

ALWAYS power down the system BEFORE adding or replacing any hardware. Also, be sure to

observe all proper procedures regarding the prevention of electrostatic discharge (ESD) when performing the

following procedures; otherwise, circuit boards may suffer damage.

Whenever you change the port card configuration, you must create a backup file for the new configuration

to be able to perform the Restore function later.

1. Remove the locking screw at the top of the Base Cabinet,

securing the cover, and remove the top cover by pressing

down the locking tab and pulling the top cover forward.

2. Connect the first port card by inserting the ribbon cable

from J1 on the port card to J16 on the main board.

3. Secure the port card with the five screws that came with the

port card to the standoffs that came with the Base Cabinet.

4. If you’re installing a second port card, secure the

second port card to the Expansion Cabinet, using the

screws provided with the port card.

5. Connect the second port card by inserting the ribbon cable

from J1 on the port card to J2 on the first port card

(located in the Base Cabinet).

6. Attach the Expansion Cabinet to the Base Cabinet, and

secure with the locking screw at the top of the Base Cabinet.

7. Secure the lid to the KSU and/or Expansion Cabinet.

8. Reverse the steps to remove the port card. Remember

to power down the system before replacing parts.

The diagram at right shows the configuration of a fully loaded ESI-50L.
