Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the system power is disconnected before inserting or removing the CPU module from the subrack.
• Handle the module by the front panel or edges to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to internal components.
• Verify that the module is fully seated in the designated backplane slot to ensure reliable electrical contact.
• Maintain adequate ventilation within the control cabinet to keep ambient temperatures within the 0 to 55 deg C range.
• Route programming cables away from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the TTY interface.
