NX-7500 Series Integrated Services Platform NMC Installation

Warning

Power down the integrated services platform and disconnect all power cords prior to installing or replacing the Network Mezzanine Card (NMC).

Caution

The NMC module uses lasers. The lasers are compliant with the requirements for a Class 1 laser product and are inherently eye safe in normal operation. However, you should never look directly at any visible laser when the module is operational.

To install an NMC:

1. If the integrated services platform is running, perform a shutdown.
2. Wait until the LCD panel is no longer illuminated to confirm that the integrated services platform has successfully shut down.
3. Disconnect all power cords from the integrated services platform.
4. Unlock the mounting latch on the blank NMC unit or functional NMC and pull the lever to remove.

5. Remove the new NMC from the packing.
6. Carefully align and insert the NMC into the NX-7500.
7. Press the locking latch to lock the NMC in place.
8. Reconnect all power cords to the integrated services platform.
9. Apply power to the integrated services platform.
10. Verify that the integrated services platform LCD panel is illuminated.
11. Login in to the Management Interface and verify that the replacement NMC is operational.
