Adding Other Pdi Cards; Adding Legacy Cards - Simplex 4100ESi Installation Manual

Adding other PDI cards

Up to eight standard PDI cards can fit in the unused PDI backplane positions of the bay. Fit the cards one up-one
down, or fit dual height PDI cards, such as the 4100-6077AU MX Loop Card.
Figure 38. Mounting a PDI card on a backplane in a bay
Plug the card into the socket on the backplane, and secure it with two screws supplied with the card. For
information about field wiring, refer to the appropriate drawings in LT0432 4100ESi Field Wiring Diagrams.

Adding legacy cards

Each bay supports up to 8 legacy format cards. Each legacy card consists of a specific motherboard and a
specific plug-in daughter card.
Mount the motherboard over the PDI backplane in the bay, using the metal standoffs and screws supplied with
the card.
To avoid clashing with the PDI power connectors, it is necessary to cut off the interconnecting pins on the left
side of a legacy motherboard when it is in the leftmost position in the bay.
Plug the daughter card into the motherboard.
