Installing The Nim Cards - Enterasys X-Pedition XSR-1805 Getting Started Manual

Installing the NIM Cards

• Each XSR AC power supply requires a three-pronged power receptacle capable of delivering
the current and voltage specified in Appendix A. An AC outlet on a separately fused circuit is
required for each XSR to provide power redundancy, and must be located within 182
centimeters (6 feet) from the site. The power cord used and type of outlet is dependent on the
country. In the United States, a power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug is provided with each
XSR.
• Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 0° and 40°C (41° to
104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per hour.
Installing the NIM Cards
The XSR motherboard provides two NIM card slots with rear-panel access. Each NIM slot is
comprised of three 64-pin connectors. Perform the following steps to install optional NIM card(s)
in the XSR:
1. Make sure the power cord is disconnected from the XSR before you add the NIM cards.
2. Place the XSR top down on a flat, static-free surface.
3. Unfasten the two screws holding the end cap closest to the NIM card slots and remove it as
shown in
