Disconnect the power, and unplug all connectors from the NXF.
3.
Remove the two screws that hold the front plate on the Master Card, and
remove the front plate.
4.
Align the edges of the card with the guide slots inside the Master Card slot
on the NXF.
5.
Slide the card about halfway into the slot.
6.
Inside the Master Card slot on NXF, locate the 4-pin control cable
connector.
7.
Plug the connector from the NXF into the 4-pin terminal on the Master
Card. This connector is keyed to ensure correct orientation.
8.
Once the control cable is connected, gently slide the card all the way in
until you can screw the card in place.
9.
Re-apply power and other connections as necessary.

+12 VDC PWR Connector:
On the rear panel. the 2-pin green (male) connector is for connecting a 12 VDC
power supply. The CardFrame can be powered either via the Master Card
(default), or by an external power supply connected to the CardFrame's PWR
connector. If a power supply is connected to the PWR connector, the CardFrame
power automatically switches to the connected power supply. In that case, the
Master/Hub Card and CardFrame are independently powered.
CardFrame Number DIP Switch:
The 8-position CardFrame Number DIP switch, located on the rear of the
CardFrame (FIG. 3), sets the starting address (the device number in the D:P:S
specification) for the Control Cards you install into the CardFrame. The address
range is 12-3060.
