Preparing the System for Remote Power

  1. From the front of the cabinet verify that the key switches located at the bottom left of the master cabinet and any expansion cabinets are in the Standby position.

  2. From the rear of the master cabinet, unscrew the three captive fasteners on the right side of the service processor and I/O panel and open the panel.

  3. Locate the two DB-9 to DB-9 cables that are bundeled close to the USB relay panel on the back of the service processor and I/O panel. Connect the cable labeled Front Seq J14 In to the FRONT SEQ J14 connection and the cable labeled Rear Seq J14 In to the REAR SEQ J14 connection on the back of the master service processor and I/O panel.

    a) View the rear of the master service processor and I/O panel illustration.

    b) Verify that the cable connecting USB port 1 of the service processor to the USB relay card is installed. The green LED on the USB relay card should be On.

    c) The other ends of the front and rear sequencer cables are connected at the factory.

    d) Close the pop-up screen.

  4. Close the service processor and I/O panel and tighten the three captive fasteners.

  5. If an expansion cabinet needs to be connected, use the two 10 meter DB-9 to DB-9 expansion cabinet cables to connect the power sequencer out-jacks on the front of the master cabinet service processor and I/O panel to the power sequencer in-jacks on the front of the expansion cabinet service processor and I/O panel for both the front and rear power sequencers. The cables are in the kit that was shipped with the system.

    a) View the connections for the expansion cabinet illustration.

    b) Close the pop-up screen.

  6. If a second expansion cabinet needs to be connected, use the two 10 meter DB-9 to DB-9 expansion cabinet cables to connect the power sequencer out-jacks on the front of the first expansion cabinet service processor and I/O panel to the power sequencer in-jacks on the front of the second expansion cabinet service processor and I/O panel for both the front and rear power sequencers. The cables are in the kit that was shipped with the system.

    a) View the connections for the second expansion cabinet illustration.

    b) Close the pop-up screen.

  7. Loosen the four screws on the front key switch trim panel panel and remove the panel from the master cabinet and any expansion cabinets.

  8. At the bottom front left and bottom back left of the system on the master cabinet and any expansion cabinet, press the power sequencers Local/Off/Remote switch to Remote.

  9. Hold the trim panel to the cabinet frame for the master cabinet and any expansion cabinets and tighten the four screws.
