Chapter 2
Installing the Adapter
Chapter 2 provides instructions for installing the adapter in a PowerFlex
7-Class drive. This adapter can also be installed in a DPI External
Comms Kit. In this case, refer to the 20-XCOMM-DC-BASE Installation
Instructions (Publication No. 20COMM-IN001…) supplied with the kit.
Before installing the adapter, verify that you have all required
equipment. Refer to Required Equipment
on page 1-3.
To commission the adapter, you must set a unique MAC address and,
depending on where the PowerFlex drive nodes are located on the
network (starting and ending network nodes versus other node
locations), appropriately set the TERM, -BIAS, and +BIAS switches.
Important: New settings are recognized only when power is applied to
the adapter or it is reset. If you change a switch setting,
cycle power or reset the adapter to invoke the change.

Electrostatic Damage, Publication 8000-4.5.2.
