Seven, Installation and Maintenance Precautions

Before installation, confirm that the module is intact, check that the connectors are free of dust and oxidation; during installation, align and gently insert and push the module into the backplane slot, ensure that the connector is fully engaged, tighten the screws, and prevent vibration from causing loosening.

Hot-swappable operation: Before plugging or unplugging, confirm that the module is in a non-critical working state, direct plugging and unplugging is allowed, no power-off required; after plugging or unplugging, observe the LED indicator lights to confirm that the module has started normally and the channel signal acquisition is normal.

Daily status monitoring: Determine the operating status through the front panel LED —— a constantly lit channel LED indicates normal signal, flashing indicates abnormal signal; a fault LED lights up indicating module failure, and timely troubleshooting is required.

Regular maintenance: Clean the module surface and connectors once every 6 months to avoid poor contact; Check whether the connectors are oxidized or loose, and deal with them promptly; avoid keeping the modules in a strong corrosive or strong magnetic environment for a long time.

Storage requirements: When stored for a long time, place them in a dry and ventilated environment, with the temperature controlled at -40℃ to +85℃. Avoid dampness, dust accumulation, and prevent component aging and damage.
