  • Page 11: Installation

    Installation Installation The front and the rear modules are delivered together as a set: 8947RDA-D front module with the 8900WE-R rear module or the 8947RDA-FR front fiber ready module with 8900WFR-FR rear module. The optional fiber optic submodule ships separately. The front modules can be plugged in and removed from a GeckoFlex frame with power on, without disrupting operation on adjacent running mod- ules.

  • Page 12: Module Installation Precautions

    Installation Module Installation Precautions Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the front and rear modules and any fiber optic option submodule (8947RDA-FR models only): • Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up, before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a metal part of the frame.

  • Page 13: Rear Module Installation

    Installation Rear Module Installation 1. To remove a blank rear adapter cover (or a rear module already present), manually loosen the two screws holding each retainer clip on the rear adapter cover or rear module to the frame with the retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751- model frames only) or a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver.

  • Page 14: Front Module Configuration

    Installation Front Module Configuration If you have an 8900NET module (Net Card) in your frame and will be con- figuring the module remotely with a web browser or the Newton Control Panel, install it as described in Installing Front Module on page If you do not have an 8900NET module in the GeckoFlex frame for remote monitoring and configuration, you will need to configure the module using the local onboard controls before installing it in the frame.
