Expansion Cabinet installation

The Expansion Cabinet provides for the expansion of each Base Cabinet with one additional port card
(in addition to the one additional port card slot available on the Base Cabinet). The Expansion Cabinet
houses up to two port cards connected via ribbon cables through the opening in the back of the
Expansion Cabinet to the Base Cabinet.
IVX S-Class Generation II houses up to three port cards, as shown.
To install an Expansion Cabinet:
1. Wear a grounding strap and avoid unnecessary movement while
handling the circuit boards.
2. Unplug the power to the IVX S-Class system.
3. Remove the Base Cabinet lid by pressing the release tab at the top of
the Cabinet and rock back the lid from the bottom of the Cabinet.
4. Install the Expansion Cabinet on the front of the Base Cabinet in
place of the Base Cabinet's lid.
5. Lock the Expansion Cabinet to the Base Cabinet by snapping the top
in place and reinstalling the retaining screw.
6. Connect the grounding strap from the Expansion Cabinet's grounding
lug (located on the bottom of the cabinet) to the Base Cabinet's
grounding lug. Follow the grounding procedures as described earlier
for grounding the Base Cabinet.
7. Through the large opening in the back of the Expansion Cabinet,
connect the ribbon cable as follows:
• On IVX S-Class Generation I — Connect J1 on the port card to J2
on the card directly below.
• On IVX S-Class Generation II — Connect J5 on the port card to
the J6 on the card directly below.
