Model CC-5
System Cardcage for NCCNT WAN
INTRODUCTION The Model CC-5 Cardcage from Siemens Industry, Inc. (see Figure 1) has five card
slots and occupies two positions on the studs in the backbox or on the optional
CAB-MP Mounting Plate. The CC-5 is used for mounting all system circuit card
assemblies. It has two removable terminal block connectors at the top and one
removable terminal block connector at the bottom of each card slot. All field-wiring
connections are made directly to the top of the cardcage while internal power is
connected to the bottom of the cardcage. The two removable terminal block connectors at the top of each slot are arranged in two rows. The lower row is labeled 1
through 8 and the upper row is labeled 9 through 16. These removable terminal
block connectors are used for connecting power limited external equipment. The
removable terminal block connector located at the bottom of each slot is labeled 17
through 24 and is used for connecting internal power.

OPERATION The CC-5 provides a central point for mounting circuit card assemblies. If a card
requires power, it is applied through the removable terminal block at the bottom of
the cardcage. All external devices for the card are connected to the card through the
two removable terminal blocks at the top of the cardcage. The circuit card assemblies
are connected to the HNET bus through the connectors on the cardcage.
PRE-INSTALLATION The CC-5 is shipped with the card guides removed. The card guides are keyed to
assist in installation. They can be installed either before or after the cardcage is
installed in the enclosure. For ease of installation, the card guides have been designed to be installed after the field wiring has been completed.

Card Guide Installation
Remove all system power before installation, first battery then AC. (To power up,
connect the AC first, then the battery.)
The CC-5 mounts at the back of the enclosure on the studs in the backbox or on the
optional Mounting Plate (CAB-MP). The Mounting Plate may be located either “IN” or
“OUT” of the enclosure to perform this installation procedure. If the Mounting Plate is
located “IN” the enclosure you will have to gain access to it by opening the enclosure
Inner and Outer doors. If the Mounting Plate is located outside of the enclosure,
place it in front of you so that the word “TOP” is at the top and away from you.

Each row of studs in the backbox or each Mounting Plate can hold a maximum of
two CC-5 cardcages. There are three possible locations for mounting the CC-5.
1. Flush left in the backbox or on the Mounting Plate in positions 1-2.
2. In the center of the row in the backbox or on the Mounting Plate in positions 2-3.
3. Flush right in the backbox or on the Mounting Plate in positions 3-4.
When only one cardcage is to be installed, it is normally installed on the left side of
a row or on the Mounting Plate.
There is a top and bottom to the Mounting Plate. The top is where the word “TOP” is
stamped on the Mounting Plate. When the cardcage is mounted correctly on the
Mounting Plate it will be flush on the top, bottom, and left with the Mounting Plate
and the two screw holes in the center of the cardcage motherboard will be over
threaded posts.
1. Install four 10-32 screws in the threaded posts at the top left of Position 1,
top right of Position 2, bottom left of Position 1, and the bottom right of
Position 2 on the Mounting Plate. Screw each of the 10-32 screws into the
threaded posts 5-6 turns. (Refer to Figure 3.)
2. Place the cardcage over the four screws on the Mounting Plate and slide it
down or towards you to rest on the four screws. (Refer to Figure 4.) When
the cardcage is in the correct position it will be flush with the top, bottom,
and left side of the Mounting Plate.
3. Install the two 10-32 screws in the center of the cardcage motherboard near
the left and right edge.
4. Tighten the six screws.
