This equipment is supplied by a mains voltage
that can cause electric shock injury. Before installing,
setting up or operating this equipment, make sure that you
have read and fully understand all of this section and the
"Important safety instructions" at the front of this manual.
Ideally a cool area is preferred, away from power distribution
equipment or other potential sources of interference.
Do not install the equipment in places of poor ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a location subjected to excessive
heat, dust or mechanical vibration. Allow for adequate ventilation
around the equipment, making sure that its fans and vents are
not obstructed. Whenever possible, keep the equipment out of
direct sunlight.
Caution – Before installing the NEUTRON-NB Dual Network
Bridge Expansion Module into NEUTRON main processing unit's
expansion slot, you must make sure that the main NEUTRON unit's
power switch is turned off . Malfunctions or electrical shock may
occur otherwise.
To install the NEUTRON-NB into the main NEUTRON unit's
expansion slot:
(1)
Make sure the host unit's power is turned off .
(2)
Loosen the 4 screws fastening the cover plate over the
NEUTRON unit's expansion slot.
(3)
Remove the cover plate and set aside. Keep the fastening
screws on hand.
(4)
Identify the Expansion Module connectors inside the
NEUTRON unit's expansion slot.
(5)
Carefully remove the NEUTRON-NB from the packaging.
Caution – Before removing the NEUTRON-NB expansion module
from its protective bag, we recommend touching the grounded
metal chassis of the main NEUTRON unit to prevent electrostatic
discharges from aff ecting the sensitive electronic components.
It is generally a good idea to hold the expansion module either by
the face plate or by the two small handles, but never touching the
components on the circuit board directly.
(6)
Align the NEUTRON-NB connectors with the connectors
inside the NEUTRON unit's expansion slot and slowly slide
the NEUTRON-NB into the expansion slot. Apply light
pressure, and be very careful not to bend the pins. Push the
NEUTRON-NB all the way into the expansion slot to ensure
the contacts are fi rmly connected.
(7)
Fasten the NEUTRON-NB into the expansion slot by using the
original 4 fastening screws from the expansion slot cover
plate. Be aware that damage or malfunctions may occur if
the chassis is not properly fastened.
(8) Make sure the chassis is fi rmly fastened into place before
powering on the main NEUTRON processing unit.
