Installing the MPM Modules

This section describes how to install an MPM module into the chassis. Each MPM module occupies two standard AMC slots. Therefore, before installing an MPM module, you need to remove the blank AMC modules covering the slots.

➢

To install the MPM module:

1.

Remove the new MPM from its ESD shielding packet in which it was shipped.

2.

Disconnect the power cord from the power sources, and then remove the power cord from the power connections on the two Power Supply modules.

3.

Remove the blank AMC-module slot covers from the slots in which you want to install the MPM module, by gently pulling on the handle of the modules until they slide out of the slots completely.

Carefully insert the MPM into the two empty slots, sliding it along the slot's guide rails until it makes contact with the card-edge connector located on the backplane.
