Installing the BMENUA0100

Introduction

You can install the BMENUA0100 module only into a local, Ethernet main rack by placing it into any Ethernet slot not reserved for the safety power supply or CPU.

NOTE: If your application includes multiple PACs (that are not paired Hot Standby PACs) each with a BMENUA0100 module, install the modules so that the slot number of each BMENUA0100 module is unique. For example, for an application that includes two PACs, if a BMENUA0100 module in the PAC1 rack is placed into slot 4, place a BMENUA0100 module in the PAC2 rack into a slot other than slot 4.

Grounding Precautions

Each BMENUA0100 module is equipped with ground connection contacts.

Schneider Electric recommends the use of a BMXXSP•••• bar to help protect the rack from electromagnetic disturbances.

Follow all local and national safety codes and standards.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

If you cannot prove that the end of a shielded cable is connected to the local ground, the cable must be considered as dangerous and personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Installing a BMENUA0100 Module in the Rack

A BMENUA0100 module requires a single rack Ethernet slot. You can install the module into any Ethernet slot not reserved for the power supply or CPU. Follow these steps to install a BMENUA0100 module in a rack:

Step	Action
1	Position the locating pins situated at the bottom rear of the module in the corresponding slots on the rack.
2	Swivel the module towards the top of the rack so that the module sits flush with the back of the rack. The module is now set in position.
3	Tighten the single screw on top of the module to maintain the module in place on the rack. Tightening torque: 0.4...1.5 N•m (0.30...1.10 lbf-ft).
