Installation and Maintenance — D20EME 0526-21170-1
- Install the module in compatible D20 VME or D200 chassis (verify chassis compatibility before installation; older 500-0280 chassis without 953-3061 sub-assembly is not compatible).
- Route the interconnect cable between the module and MIC card inside the chassis to avoid EMI interference.
- For upgrades, re-install software into the D20 ME/ME II processor if upgrading from a Greenspring ethernet card.
- Routine maintenance involves inspecting connectors, ensuring unobstructed airflow, and checking fuse and battery conditions (no scheduled calibration required).
- If connection length exceeds 3m, install a serial surge protection panel (GE 540-0249) for added protection.
