6. Installation Instructions
6.1 Pre‑Installation Safety
ESD Protection: Always use an ESD wristband when handling the board; avoid static‑sensitive areas.
Power Off: Shut down the DCS chassis and disconnect all power cables; wait 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge.
Inspection: Check the board for physical damage (bent pins, burnt components); verify connector cleanliness.
6.2 Installation Steps
Locate Slot: Select an available Multibus slot in the 405A675G / 405A685G chassis.
Insert Board: Align the board with the chassis guides; insert firmly until fully seated.
Secure Board: Tighten the front‑panel screw to ensure proper grounding and mechanical stability.
Connect Storage: Attach the SCSI cable to the 50‑pin internal connector on the board; connect the other end to the disk/emulator.
Power On: Reconnect power cables; power on the chassis.
Verify Operation: Check front‑panel LEDs: PWR (Green) ON, ACT (Yellow) blinking during data transfer.
7. LED Indicators
| LED | Color | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PWR | Green | ON | Normal power supply (+5 VDC present). |
| ACT | Yellow | Blinking | Data read/write activity (normal operation). |
| FLT | Red | ON | Fault condition: disk communication error, ECC error, or board failure. |
8. Maintenance & Troubleshooting
8.1 Preventive Maintenance (Quarterly)
Visual Inspection: Check connectors for dirt, corrosion, or bent pins.
Cleaning: Use dry, low‑pressure compressed air (≤ 2 bar) to clean the board surface and connectors; avoid liquid cleaners.
Cable Check: Verify SCSI cable connections; replace damaged cables.
8.2 Troubleshooting
PWR LED OFF: Check backplane power supply; verify board seating.
FLT LED ON:
Reseat the SCSI cable; replace if damaged.
Test the disk/emulator on another controller.
Replace the 405A689G04 board if errors persist.
No ACT Blinking: Verify disk/emulator power; check SCSI ID settings.
9. Storage & Handling
Packaging: Store in original anti‑static packaging; keep in a cool, dry environment.
Temperature: −40 °C to +85 °C; avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
Handling: Hold the board by the edges only; avoid touching components or connectors.
