CARD TYPES & LAYOUT
FRONT VIEW - POPULATED CORE
Connections
All connections, including power are
made to the front panels of the cards
fitted within, which are recessed from the
front of the core to allow cable clearance
within the bay.
Cardlayout
The Artemis Light core has 9 module /
card slots. A slot should only be fitted
with a module of the correct type for the
slot, as shown in the layout above. Labels
indicating each slot's type are visible once
a module is removed.
The central module in the core is the
reset and sync interface card. Two slots
are provided for each type of processing
card for redundancy. Slots to the left of
the central reset card are for primary and
normally active router, DSP and control
processors. The slots to the right mirror
this layout and are for the secondary or
hot-spare processing modules. The first
and last slots are for power supplies,
a PSU in either slot can power a fully
populated core. Two PSU's are fitted and
the load shared to provide redundancy.

Installing/removingcards
Modules are fixed in place by two captive
front panel screws, one top and one
bottom. To remove, unfasten the screws
until they are loose then pull on the card
handle. It is important to observe ESD
precautions when handling any of the
cards. Avoid touching the circuit board
and use ESD bags or mats to put modules
on.
