Unit Installation

Installing Dial Backup and Network Interface Modules

The DIMs plug on to the NIMs. The NIMs are then installed in the rear panel option module slot. The
following tables list the installation steps. Also see Figure 29 below and Figure 30 on page 69.
For NetVanta modules with outside plant connections, ensure that all cables are
removed from the module before installing or removing it from the NetVanta chassis.
Always remove power from the unit prior to removing or installing a module.
Improper installation may result in damage to the modules.
Step
1 Remove power from the unit.
2 If the NIM is already in the NetVanta chassis, remove all cables, release the pins at both edges
of the NIM front panel and slide the module out of the chassis.
3 Carefully align the P1 connector on the NIM with the J1 connector on the DIM. Using only
fingertip pressure so that neither circuit board bends or flexes, ensure that the connectors are
firmly seated. Secure the DIM to the NIM using the screws and standoff posts supplied. See
Figure 29.
4 Slide the NIM with the DIM attached into the NetVanta chassis, continuing with the normal NIM
installation (refer to Instructions for Installing the NIMs on page 69).
