Rack Configuration 

Assembly 

If starting with an empty R FR 5010 / R FR 5011 rack 

frame please follow the following steps for correct 
installation of the Series 5000 Card Modules 

 

Rack Layout Considerations 

If you have a variety of module types it’s a good 
idea to plan the order in which you install the 

various CardModules. While a module can occupy 

any of the 10 available slots provided, 
consideration can be given to the position of the 

modules in the rack to facilitate external wiring. 
Figure 10 shows a layout example. 

 

Rear Connection Plates 

The series 5000 CardModule is supplied with a 
connection plate and two screws. This is fitted to 

the rear of the rack frame behind the module. 

Position the connection pate on the rear mounting 
rails (figure 2) and secure with the two screws 

provided. Do not fully tighten the screws initially. 

Test fit the module into the rack and make sure the 
edge connector from the CardModule is aligned 

correctly with the connection plate. When 

alignment is correct, tighten the two screws. 
Remove and insert the CardModule a few times to 

check installation. If the CardModule sticks, or 

installation is in anyway difficult loosen the 

connection pate screws and check alignment. 

Repeat this process for each CardModule. 

 

Note. It is important to note the order of the 
CardModules on the front of the rack.
