Card Slot Selection

You may install the CM-30 module and MA-230 module adapter into any free card slot within the
multiplexer. However, before installation, consider that some module adapters occupy the width of
two modules on the back panel. Make certain to install the CM-30 module and MA-230 module adapter
into a card slot that is joined to the controller and channel modules that you wish to access.
Consider these guidelines:
● In a TDM-163, TDM-165, STL-163, STL-165, ACS-163, ACS-165, TDM-263, TDM-265, ACS-263,
ACS-265, ADL-263, or ADL-265 multiplexer, any of the 18 available card slots provides access to
the modules located in the remaining card slots.
● A TDM-166, STL-166, TDM-266, ACS-266, or ADL-266 multiplexer system is divided into two
sections; card slots 1 through 9 are in one section, and card slots 10 through 18 are in the other
section.
● In a DCS-9530, DCS-9530E, DCS-9560, or DCS-9560E unit, the multiplexer section only extends
from card slot 1 through card slot 12.
These two components need to be installed into matching slots so that they meet together at the
midplane. Therefore, install the MA-230 module adapter on the back panel of the multiplexer chassis
so that it connects with the CM-30 IP interface module at the midplane (Figure A-1).

A.2.1 CM-30 & MA-230 Installation into the First Multiplexer
A.2.1.1 Install the First MA-230 Module Adapter
You can install the MA-230 module adapter while the multiplexer is still in live service. Proceed with
caution when installing the adapter into a live system to prevent service interruption and damage to
components. Perform these steps:
1. Switch bank SW1 sets the input impedance for the timing input connections. These switches
should be set to ON for most applications. Confirm that these switches are set properly on SW1 on
the MA-230 adapter. (Section 3.2.2.3 and Table 3-4 describe the switch functions.)
2. At the desired location, remove a single-width aluminum blanking plate from the back panel of the
multiplexer shelf by loosening the two retaining screws associated with the plate. The MA-230
adapter only requires one panel width, but you may find that you need to remove a double- or
triple-wide panel from the back panel to locate the desired numbered slot. You need to remove
four Phillips screws in order to free a double- or triple-wide panel.
