Standard racks support one or two Power Supply modules (redundant). These must be installed in the leftmost slots (viewed from the front).
Ensure the voltage rating of your power supply (AC or DC) matches your local power source before energizing. Module Placement:
Slot 1 (far left): Reserved for the Rack Interface Module (RIM), which manages communication between all modules in the rack. Section 4: First Boot and Functional Test After
Remaining Slots: Slots 2 through 16 can hold various monitoring modules (Vibration, Temperature, Thrust, etc.) in any order, though common practice is to group related sensors together. Helpful Resources

- Lost access: use serial console to diagnose network/config issues.
- If image rejected: ensure filename/manifest/signature matches device requirements.
Section 2: Physical Installation Step-by-Step
Follow these instructions precisely. A single misaligned pin can brick the module.
7.1 Preventive Maintenance Schedule
- Monthly: Visual check for debris, LED status logging.
- Quarterly: Torque terminal screws (re-tighten to 0.5 Nm). Clean with compressed air.
- Annually: Perform insulation resistance test (>1 MΩ between power and ground). Back up configuration EEPROM.
6. Rollback & recovery
- Keep a copy of prior firmware and drivers.
- Document original configuration before change.
- If firmware flash fails and device is bricked, use vendor recovery mode (JTAG, bootloader, or recovery tool) per vendor instructions or RMA the device.
