Adding New Modules

Adding new modules to an existing 5-slot carrier is very similar to installing the control unit.
CAUTION:
Adding new modules may change line and extension assignments when the system is
powered up.
Use these instructions if you are adding modules to an existing 5-slot carrier. If you are
upgrading from a stand-alone PARTNER ACS processor module to a 2-slot carrier, see
"Wall-Mounting a Stand-Alone Processor Module and a 2-Slot Carrier" on page 2-5
instructions.
CAUTION:
Before starting, verify that you have batteries installed in the processor module by viewing
the display of the telephone at extension 10.
Follow these steps to add a module to an existing 5-slot carrier:
1. Move the On/Off switch to the "Off" position ("O").
2. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. If you have Release 4.0 or later:
a. Loosen the thumb screw at the bottom of the carrier cover.
b. Rotate the carrier cover to disengage the tabs at the top of the modules from the openings
on the top of the carrier.
If you have Release 3.0 or earlier:
a. Loosen the screw on the lower front of the cover.
b. Place one hand on the handle on the bottom front of the cover and place your other hand
on the top of the cover, and gently pull the cover up and away from the carrier. Be careful
not to break the tabs that attach the cover to the carrier.
4. Before installing a module, remove the clear, plastic protector from the connector area on the
rear of the module by grasping the tabs on the ends of the protector and lifting (see
Figure 10-4).
