1) Power LED. Lights when the module has power.
2) Module OK LED. Lights when the module passes self-
test. Flashes when a non-fatal error occurs on self-test.
If the module fails self-test, the Module OK LED is off.
3) Network Traffic. Flashes or remains on depending on
network activity.
4) Network OK. Lights when the module has an active net-
work connection.
5) Seven-Segment Display. Provides error and status
information.
6) Flash RAM Slot. Provides an opening in which to insert
the Flash RAM card.
7) Reset Switch. Resets the module to factory defaults.
To reset: while turning on the power, press and hold the
reset switch until the Module OK LED flashes; or if the
DECserver 900TM is in operational mode (the seven
segment display shows the “race track” pattern), hold the
switch in for 5 seconds. The module reboots with factory
defaults.
8) Serial Port Connectors. Connect the asynchronous
devices to the DECserver 900TM. The serial port connec-
tors are labeled 1 to 32.

You do not have to shut off the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch power when you install a module in the
hub. TheDECserver 900TM hasa built-in hot-swapswitch that allowsquick and easypower-on
installation and removal.
Install the module into the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch.

a. Check the Hub Manager Status Display to ensure that there is
adequate power in the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch to accommodate
this module’s power rating. You may have to add another
power supply to the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch to accommodate
this module without affecting other modules already in the hub.
b. Locate an available DEChub slot.
c. Place the module’s bottom mounting tab into the mounting slot
on the hub.
d. Pivot the module on the mounting tab and align the connectors.
You hear the release lever click when the module is seated.
e. Press down on the release lever to ensure that it is locked.
f. Seating the module initiates the power up sequence and
self-test within 10 seconds if the available DEChub power is
sufficient. Read the Hub Manager Status Display for the
module status and power consumption.
Verify power.

a. With power on in the DEChub, verify
that the Power LED is on.
b. Verify that the Module OK LED
remains on after the module
completes self-test.
Connect the port cables to any
available port connector on the module.

Notes:
Port 1 by default may be used as a
console port.
The DECserver 900TM does not sup-
port the out-of-band management
(OBM) port or the setup port on the
DEChub ONE. No devices should be
connected to these ports.
Installing Flash RAM

LKG–8091-93I
If you using a Flash RAM card for loading the operational software, perform the following:
a. The Digital label should be on the same side as the DECserver 900TM logo on
the front panel of the module.
b. Whenproperlyinserted, the FlashRAMcard protrudes fromthefrontpanel about 1/4inch.
The Flash RAM card is keyed and cannot be inserted improperly.
TheFlashRAMcardcanbehotswappedandmaybeinsertedorremovedatanytime. Ifyouareboot-
ing from the Flash RAM card, insert it before powering the module or during the self-test phase.
Once you boot the DECserver 900TM, the card may be left in place or removed.
Insert the Flash RAM card into the Flash RAM slot on the front of the module.
Removing the Module from the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch

Remove the module from the DEChub.
Disconnect the port connector cables from the module.
a. Lift the release lever on top of the
hub slot.
b. Pivot the module back on its bottom
