Installing the extension module at the CX20x0 system
Damage to the contacts Incorrect installation may result in damage to the contacts of the extension modules. The extension modules may only be attached on the right-hand side of the basic CPU module. |
A maximum of two extension modules can be attached to the basic CPU module via the internal PCI Express bus. In delivery state the extension module is equipped with a protective cap for the bus connector.
Before continuing, connect the extension module to the basic CPU module.
Prerequisites for this step:
- Exit the software and shut down the CX20x0 hardware configuration.
- Switch off the power supply.
Install the extension module as follows:
- 1. Put a screwdriver into the recess on the short side of the protective cap and lever it off.
- 2. Remove the protective cap to expose the bus connector.
- 3. If a power supply unit is already connected, remove it from the basic CPU module.
- 4. Insert the extension module on the right-hand side of the basic CPU module and then into the power supply unit.
- 5. The module clicks into the basic CPU module and the power supply unit.
- The extension module has been installed successfully, if the individual modules were connected straight and flush.
Next, you can install the bar clips, thereby reinforcing interlocking of the modules.
