Network Communication Option Module 
(for use with PowerFlex
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex 
750-Series drive may contain high voltages that can cause injury or 
death. Remove power from the drive, and then verify power has been 
discharged before removing the drive cover.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The network 
communication option module contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) 
sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not follow ESD control 
procedures. Static control precautions are required when handling the 
card. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures, see Guarding 
Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2.
Important: For the PowerFlex 20-750-PBUS Profibus option module, disregard 
these instructions. Instead, see its User Manual, publication 
750COM-UM004, for special installation instructions.

➌
Insert the network communication option module into drive Port 4, 5 or 6. 
Make sure the module is fully seated into the connector.
➍
Important: If a PowerFlex 20-750-PBUS Profibus option module resides 
in the adjacent port to the right
 of the port in which the new 
module is being installed—and the lower mounting screw of 
the new module is a T15 Torx head screw (shown in DETAIL 
A above)—that screw may electrically contact the metal 
Profibus cable connector attached to the Profibus option 
module. This may cause faulty operation. To prevent this, 
perform steps 4-A through 4-C below. If a PowerFlex 
20-750-PBUS Profibus option module is not in that port, 
disregard these steps and proceed to step 5.
A. Remove the lower mounting screw, a T15 Torx head screw shown in 
DETAIL A above, from the new module being installed.

3
B. Replace the larger T15 Torx head screw with the smaller spare T8 Torx 
head mounting screw that was shipped with the PowerFlex 
20-750-PBUS Profibus option module.
C. Proceed to step 5.
TIP: To remove the captive T15 Torx head screw, the module must 
be removed to back the screw out of the mounting clip.
➎
Tighten both of the option module mounting screws to the pod mounting 
bracket to properly ground the module to the drive. Tighten both screws to 
the recommended torque shown below.
