  1. Installation Notes & Maintenance Best Practices
    Plan for proper seating within the RX3i/90-30 rack, ensuring backplane contacts are clean and undamaged. Because this is a test-oriented module, label test patterns clearly and maintain a log of configurations used during commissioning. Keep wiring neat around adjacent modules to minimize interference with signal integrity during tests. Schedule periodic visual inspections for any signs of wear on connectors, and verify that the overall cabinet ventilation remains adequate to prevent thermal buildup during extended test cycles. When updating test scenarios or firmware-based configurations, validate changes in a controlled environment before field deployment to avoid unintended interactions with live control logic. Maintain a dedicated spare IC694ACC300A to minimize downtime during test reconfigurations and ensure rapid recovery in critical test windows.
