CSP CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Cards

Overview

This section contains information on installing the CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 and CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 I/O Cards.

Important! Before installing CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 and CSP Matrix I/O Series 3 cards, refer to their Hardware Product Descriptions to make sure that their DIP switch settings are correct and identical.

Installing a CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Card

To install a CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Card, complete the following steps:

1 Face the front of the chassis.

2 Locate the two CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Card slots CPU1 and CPU2. In the CSP 2090 and CSP 2000 + these are on the right of the chassis. In the CSP 2040, they are at the top. You must insert a CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Card into one of these slots.

Installing an CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 card into any slot other than the slots labeled CPU1 and CPU2 will damage the system and/or card.
When securing the card to the chassis, use caution to avoid bending pins on the midplane. Bent pins prevent the connection of the cards to the midplane.

3 Align the CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 Card in the card guides. Pull the ejector handles away from the card front panel and slide the card into the slot. When the ejector handles touch the card guides, gently push the handles toward the front panel until the card is fully inserted and flush to the chassis.

Installing a CSP Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 I/O Card

To install an CSP Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card, complete the following steps:

Installing an CSP Matrix Controller I/O S eries 3 card into any slot other than the slots labeled CPU1 and CPU2 will damage the system and/or card. When securing the card to the chassis, use caution to avoid bending pins on the midplane. Bent pins prevent a safe and secure midplane card connection and will adversely affect system operations.

Important! Before removing a CSP Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 card, push the STOP button on the front panel of the corresponding CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 or standby CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 card.

1 Face the rear of the chassis.

2 Locate the CSP Matrix Controller I/O Series 3 slot (CPU1 or CPU2) that corresponds to slot occupied by the CSP Matrix Controller I/O card. You must insert the CSP Matrix Controller Series 3 I/O card into one of these slots.

3 Align the CSP Matrix Controller I/O card in the card guides. Pull the ejector handles away from the card front panel and slide the card into the slot. When the ejector handles touch the card guides, gently push the handles toward the front panel until the card is fully inserted and flush to the chassis.

The Matrix Controller Series 3 card is based on Motorola’s 750 PowerPC processor (68750). It is often referred to as the Matrix Controller.
