Equipment and Operation

Installation of Equipment

As previously discussed, the hardware for a MERLIN LEGEND BRI system
consists of an 800 CO-BRI module and a 2.B Feature module. If the entire
MERLIN LEGEND BRI system is new, the Feature module is already installed in
the Processor module. If the MERLIN LEGEND system is being upgraded to a
MERLIN LEGEND BRI system, the old Feature module must be replaced with the
2.B Feature module.

Installing the 800 CO-BRI Module

The installation is similar to installing any line module. Do not leave empty slots
between modules in the carrier. The system ignores any modules installed
beyond an empty slot.
To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), avoid touching
leads, connectors, pins, and other components. Use a properly grounded
wrist strap.
Follow these steps to install an 800 CO-BRI module in the control unit. See the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System Installation manual (555 -620-1 41) for
more information.
1. Review the system planning form to verify the slot placement for the
module.
CAUTION:
Remove the protective cover from the module's gold-finger connector
before installing the module into the carrier,
2. Lower the module onto the rod on the carrier in the appropriate slot.
3.
Swing the module into the slot. Be sure that the connector on the module
mates properly with the connector on the carrier, and firmly push the
module into the carrier until it locks into place (see Figure 2-3).
