2.4 Module Installation

2.4.1 Mounting the EIS001

The EIS001 mounts in any suitable main rack I/O slot of the RX3i backplane. Refer to PACSystems
RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314 Chapters 2 and 3 for details on how to mount/dismount RX3i
modules and slot choices available.
The EIS001 may be installed while the rack is under power. Refer to PACSystems RX3i System Manual,
GFK-2314 Chapter 2 for hot-swap details.
At least 75 mm (3") must remain clear above and below the module to allow for convection cooling.
Power Connection
Once the module has been mounted in the RX3i rack, it will receive power from the installed power
supply through the RX3i backplane.
Grounding
Note that the EIS001 is fitted with a metal shroud which needs to be secured to the lower rail of the
RX3i rack in order to provide a path to ground for noise immunity. Two screws are provided for this
purpose. Failure to attach the shroud to the RX3i rack will likely lead to degraded product
performance in the presence of electrical noise.
Also refer to the grounding instructions for the RX3i Rack and associated hardware in PACSystems
RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314, Chapter 2.
Cable Connection
Attach shielded twisted pair cables to one or both RJ-45 connectors. Optionally, attach the
Station Manager to the RS-232 port.
Some Ethernet cables come equipped with RJ-45 connectors that are
oversized. Do not exert pressure to insert oversized connectors into the
RJ-45 jacks as this may result in damage to the module.

2.4.2 EIS001 Module Removal

The EIS001 may be removed from its RX3i rack while the rack is still under power.
Follow the standard procedure for removing an RX3i module from its slot position, as detailed in
PACSystems RX3i System Manual, GFK-2314 Chapter 2.
Once removed from the rack, the Ethernet connection(s) will become inactive. The RS-232 Station
Manager Port will also cease to operate.
