1.6 Installing and removing Cards
The Thorlabs TXP series mainframes and cards are 'Hot-Swappable', that means
you do not have to switch off the mainframe while exchanging cards:
• Loosen the four mounting screws on top and below the ejector handle (see
Figure 1)
• Push the red button of the ejector handle and flip down the black ejector
handle. This pulls out the card from its internal plug.
You can now remove the card. If you do not insert another card, please close the
empty slot with a blind module to maintain a proper cooling air flow inside of the unit.
Re-tighten the four screws.
All Slots of the TXP must be occupied, either by a card or by a blind
module to maintain proper air flow for internal cooling!
