To support customers in the selection of the server hardware we offer a guiding list in a separate quick

Interface card installation procedure
(Skip this chapter if you are working on a VoIP-only system inherently without interface cards)
The interface cards are all PCI (PCI-e) based PC expansion cards.
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THE INTERFACE CARD(S) ALWAYS:
Procedure in detail :
-
Shutdown the APRESA by using the WEB page (LOGON,->TOOL->SYSTEM->SHUTDOWN
(The shutdown may take some time so wait patiently until the red power LED turns off).
-
After this controlled power down, disconnect the mains power plug (note: in case the APRESA
is equipped with redundant power facility, remove BOTH mains power plugs)
-
Open the chassis by removing the 2 screws of the top cover plate to gain excess to the
PCI(PCIe) expansion slots. (only for VIDICODE, other vendor hardware may be opened
differently, refer to the documentation supplied by your typical hardware vendor)
-
Locate a free PCI or PCI-e slot to accommodate the interface card you want to install.
-
Unscrew the blind plate bracket that corresponds with the PCI expansion slot to use.
-
Mark the type of card (like POTS, TDM etc.) for future reference.
-
Carefully insert the interface card accurately in the PCI (PCIe) expansion slot and lock the card-
bracket using the screw. In case the interface card has a RJ21 type connector check both its
bail locks to move freely outside the housing prior to fixation.
-
Optionally you can add the top-bracket to secure the interface card firmly in the PCI socket.
Doing this is important with the (older) long interface cards. All new interface cards are quite
short and will be mechanically fixed stable enough by only the card-bracket screw.
-
Reposition the top cover and fixate the screws.
APRESA can take a number of interface cards depending on the specifications of the motherboard and
the chassis.
