Getting Started

ESD Warning

This product can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling, care must be taken so that the devices are not damaged. Damage due to inappropriate handling is not covered by the warranty.

The following precautions must be taken:

• Do not open the protective conductive packaging until

you have read the following, and are at an approved anti static work station.

• Use a conductive wrist strap attached to a good earth

ground.

• Always discharge yourself by touching a grounded bare

metal surface or approved anti-static mat before picking up an ESD-sensitive electronic component.

• Use an approved anti-static mat to cover your work

surface.

Card Set-up and Conﬁguration

Once you are properly grounded, follow this sequence of steps to properly set-up and conﬁgure SymNet I/O cards in your Radius AEC or Edge frame.

First, make sure the unit is powered down. Next, you must remove the lid. To do this, 3 Phillips head screws need to be removed from the top of the frame. Slide the lid back and then up when removing. There is a lip that holds the front down to the chassis.

If your Radius AEC or Edge unit has blank ﬁller panels in the card slots, unscrew and remove them by removing the two black screws located on the outside of the frame.

To remove an installed card, ﬁrst remove the 2 stainless steel screws that mount the card bracket to the card. These screws are located on the inside.

Next remove the stainless steel Phillips head screw from the top of the card. Gently pull the card up to disconnect the 50pin connector. The card is no longer attached to the frame. Carefully remove the card from the chassis.

Remove the bracket for the I/O card by removing the two black screws located on the outside of the frame. Unused I/O card bays must have a blank ﬁller panel installed when operating a Radius AEC or Edge unit.

To install a new card, mount the bracket for the new I/O card to the frame chassis using the two black screws provided.

Next, align and feed the connectors on the I/O card through the opening in the bracket and align the single screw hole in the card with the standoff on the motherboard. Look through this hole and align with the standoff and then, carefully, apply

an even downward pressure until you feel the card seat into the 50-pin socket. You will likely need to carefully move the board side to side to align the 50-pin connector. Use one of the stainless steel screws provided and mount the board to the standoff. Do not over tighten this screw. The 50-pin connector on the SymNet I/O cards should not be under any tension when properly installed.

Now, install and tighten the 2 remaining stainless steel screws that mount the bracket to the card. This should ALWAYS be the last step before replacing the lid.

Finally, replace the lid.

The IN, OUT, AEC and DIGI LEDs on the front of the Radius AEC or Edge frame will illuminate in combination to indicate the card type installed. For example, an IN illuminates to indicate an analog mic/line input card, whereas IN and DIGI illuminate to indicate a digital input card. The IN and OUT LED’s illuminate to indicate a analog telephone interface card. If the card is installed properly, the card type LED(s) will illuminate.
