Removing and Installing a Board or Blank Panel

NOTES:
• For proper cooling and air flow, boards or blank panels should
be installed in all locations during normal switcher operations.
•
The input and output boards are hot-swappable. You do not
need to power down the switcher to remove and install a board.
Circuit boards can be added or removed to increase or decrease the I/O
configuration (size) of the switcher. Remove and replace an I/O board or
blank panel as follows:
1. For a board, disconnect any connected cables.
2. Rotate the left and right knurled knobs to completely loosen the
captive screws.
3. Gently pull on the knurled knobs to loosen the board or panel from
the backplane.
4. Slide the board or panel out of the chassis (see
page).
ATTENTION: Do not touch the electronic components or the
connectors on the backplane or on the circuit boards without
being electrically grounded. Handle circuit boards by their edges
only. Electrostatic discharge can damage circuits, even if you
cannot feel, see, or hear it.
5. Place the removed board on an anti-static surface or in an anti-static
container.
6. For a board, orient the board to be installed horizontally
(XTP CrossPoint 1600) or vertically (XTP CrossPoint 3200) and so that
the IN or OUT silkscreen on the back panel is right side up.
7. For a board, align the board with the left and right chassis guides
(above).
8. Gently slide the board or blank panel into the enclosure. For a board,
slide it toward the front panel until it meets resistance.
9. For a board, gently seat the board in the backplane.
10. Use a screwdriver to tighten the left and right knurled knobs to lock
the board or panel in place.
