1260-101 Module Address
The module addresses of the two plug-ins are always 1 and 2 (the
top slot is 1).
Set the module addresses for the Adapt-a-Switch Carriers and
1260-Series modules so that no address is used by more than one
plug-in or 1260-Series module. For instructions on setting module
addresses for a 1260-Series module, see the label on the side
panel of the module, or refer to the module instruction manual.
If the 1260-100/101 Carrier is in a VXIbus chassis, make
sure the chassis power is off before inserting or
removing plug-ins.
Use proper anti-static handling procedures when plug-
ins are outside the carrier.
Figure 1-3 shows how to insert or remove a plug-in. To insert a
plug-in, position the module so that the edges align with the
grooves in the carrier slot. Slide the plug-in all the way into the
carrier, then press firmly to engage its connector with the carrier
backplane. Tighten the plug-in retaining screws securely.
To remove a plug-in, loosen the two retaining screws until they
float freely. Since they are captive, they do not come completely
out. Pull firmly and evenly on the retaining screws to disengage
the plug-in from the backplane, then pull the plug-in out of the
carrier.
To install the 1260-100/101 Carrier into a VXIbus chassis, position
the carrier so that the ridges at the top and bottom align with the
grooves in the chassis slots (see Figure 1-3). As you push the
carrier into the chassis, ensure that the injector/ejector handles are
in the proper positions. The upper handle should be all the way
up, and the lower handle should be all the way down. Push the
carrier into the chassis until it stops. Then use the injector/ejector
handles to engage the carrier with the chassis backplane.
Simultaneously push the upper handle downward and the lower
handle upward until the carrier is fully inserted. Tighten the upper
and lower retaining screws.
