📘 Product Instructions
- Isolation: Ensure that all primary rack power supplies feeding the FSC controller chassis are completely switched off, locked out, and tagged before handling board installation or extraction.
- Mounting: Carefully align and slide the 10004/H/I communication board into its designated slot within the FSC rack, ensuring that backplane connector pins seat smoothly without binding or bending alignment pins.
- Wiring Termination: Securely connect network or serial communication cables to the designated front-panel ports or backplane terminals, verifying correct pinouts and maintaining proper shield grounding.
- Verification: Check node addresses, communication parameters, and hardware jumper/switch configurations against system engineering schematics prior to system startup.
- Initialization: Restore power to the safety rack and monitor front-panel diagnostic indicators and software service tools to confirm successful processor handshakes, bus synchronization, and normal communication execution.
