7.3.1 Installing a QM501 or QM502 Switch Card Color-coded keys, known as midplane polarizing keys, are fitted to the switch cards and to the midplane of the interconnect. These keys prevent the switch cards from being fully inserted in an incorrect slot. Polarizing keys function as follows: • QM501 cards are normally installed in slots 0-3. Some interconnect configurations contain QM54X midplanes. In these configurations you can install QM501 switch cards in slot positions 4-7. In this case, midplane polarizing keys are not fitted. • QM502 switch cards are normally installed in slots 4-7. Some interconnect configurations contain QM54X midplanes. In these configurations you can install QM502 switch cards in slot positions 4-7. In this case, midplane polarizing keys are not fitted Install the QM501 or QM502 as follows: 1. 1. Unpack the switch cards, and insert them in the vertical slots in the interconnect enclosure, as shown in Figure 7-5. Start with the lowest numbered slot (slot 0 or slot 4) and then fill slots progressively to the highest numbered slot.

7.3.1 Installing a QM501 or QM502 Switch Card
Color-coded keys, known as midplane polarizing keys, are fitted to the switch cards
and to the midplane of the interconnect. These keys prevent the switch cards from
being fully inserted in an incorrect slot. Polarizing keys function as follows:
•
QM501 cards are normally installed in slots 0-3. Some interconnect
configurations contain QM54X midplanes. In these configurations you can
install QM501 switch cards in slot positions 4-7. In this case, midplane
polarizing keys are not fitted.
•
QM502 switch cards are normally installed in slots 4-7. Some interconnect
configurations contain QM54X midplanes. In these configurations you can
install QM502 switch cards in slot positions 4-7. In this case, midplane
polarizing keys are not fitted
Install the QM501 or QM502 as follows:
1.
1. Unpack the switch cards, and insert them in the vertical slots in the
interconnect enclosure, as shown in Figure 7-5. Start with the lowest
numbered slot (slot 0 or slot 4) and then fill slots progressively to the highest
numbered slot.
