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.
