Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules. Cet appariel numerique de la classe B respecte toutes les Exigences du Reglement sur le materiel brouilleur du Canada. The 2-line analog telephone interface card device is in compliance with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Rules and Regulations 47 CFR Part 68, and the Administrative Council on Terminal Attachments (ACTA) – adopted technical criteria, TIA- 968-B – Telephone Terminal Equipment, Technical Requirements For Connection of Terminal Equipment To The Telephone Network, August 2009 and TIA-1096. The 2-line analog telephone interface card device meets the Industry Canada technical specifications CS-03 Part I for terminal equipment and related access arrangements intended for direct connection to analogue wireline facilities and DC-01(E) for the declaration of conformity and registration of terminal equipment. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The REN for the Analog Telephone Interface (ATI) card is two. The termination of an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the REN’s not exceed two per ATI card. Multiple ATI Cards may be installed to increase the REN for a system. PN 53-0082 Rev C 02/22

• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product (i.e. this Quick Start Guide).
• CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use the polarized plug supplied with the device with any extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the prongs can be fully inserted.
• Power Source: This Symetrix hardware uses a universal input supply that automatically adjusts to the applied voltage. Ensure that your AC mains voltage is somewhere between 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the power cord and connector specified for the product and your operating locale. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation. The appliance inlet and coupler shall remain readily operable once the apparatus has been installed.
• User Serviceable Parts: There are no user serviceable parts inside this Symetrix product. In case of failure, customers inside the U.S. should refer all servicing to the Symetrix factory. Customers outside the U.S. should refer all servicing to an authorized Symetrix distributor. Distributor contact information is available online at: http://www.symetrix.co.

ESD Warning

This product can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). When handling, care must be taken so that the devices are not damaged. Damage due to inappropriate handling is not covered by the warranty.
The following precautions must be taken:

• Do not open the protective conductive packaging until you have read the following, and are at an approved anti-static work station.
• Use a conductive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground.
• Always discharge yourself by touching a grounded bare metal surface or approved anti-static mat before picking up an ESD-sensitive electronic component.
• Use an approved anti-static mat to cover your work surface.

Card Removal and Installation

Once you are properly grounded, follow this sequence of steps to properly set- up and configure the Symetrix AEC Coprocessor Module in your Radius NX 4×4 or Radius NX 12×8 hardware.
First, make sure the unit is powered down. Next, you must remove the two rack ears and the lid. To do this, remove the 6 Phillips head screws from the rack ears and the 3 Phillips head screws from the rear of the frame. Lift the lid up using the two tabs in the rear of the lid. If your Radius NX 4×4 or Radius NX 12×8 unit has an AEC Coprocessor Module installed, unscrew and remove it by removing the two stainless steel Phillips head screws located on the top of the card. Gently pull the card up to disconnect the two 50-pin connectors. The card is no longer attached to the frame. Carefully remove the card from the chassis. PN 53-0082 Rev C 02/22 To install a new module, align and feed the connectors on the AEC Coprocessor Module and align the screw holes in the card with the standoffs on the motherboard. Look through this hole and align with the standoff and then, carefully, apply an even downward pressure until you feel the card seat into the 50-pin sockets. Use the two stainless steel screws provided and mount the board to the standoff. Do not over tighten these screws. The 50-pin connectors on the Symetrix AEC Coprocessor Module should not be under any tension when properly installed. Finally, replace the lid and rack ears.
