6. Pressing lightly on the battery icon on the front of the battery assembly, slide the locking 
latch downward to secure the assembly in place. The “plus” icon and the battery icon should 
now be visible on the front of the battery assembly (see Figure 2-13). 
To initialize the system, you must insert any PC Card before powering up the system. The 
supported PC Cards are the Backup/Restore card, Automatic System Answer/Direct Extension 
Dial (ASA/DXD) card, PARTNER Voice Messaging Basics card, PARTNER Remote Access PC 
Card (Release 3.0 and later systems), and software upgrade card.
Follow these steps to initialize a system:
1. If your PC Card comes with a write-protect tab, verify that the write-protect tab on the PC 
Card is not in the write-protected position. If it is, use a paperclip or another pointed object 
to push the write-protect tab on the end of the PC Card upward to the nonprotected 
position.
2. To insert the PC Card, hold it with the label facing to the right, and slide it gently into one of 
the PC Card slots on the processor module. When inserted properly, the PC Card projects 
about 1-5/8” (4 cm) from the module.
3. If you have a 5-slot carrier, make sure the carrier’s On/Off switch is at the Off (“O”) position.

Checking the LEDs
If your system has a 1600 DSL module, initialization of the line and extension ports may 
take up to 40 seconds. The initialization of the 1600 DSL module itself may take from 2 to 
7 minutes.
After you power up your system, check the green 
lights on the fronts of the modules (see Figure 2-17):

If a single light is out, power down the control unit, 
reseat the module, and then power up the carrier.

If multiple lights are out, power down the control 
unit, reseat either both modules (2-slot carrier) or 
the leftmost module that has a light out (5-slot 
carrier), and then power up the carrier.
If the lights are still out, see the Customer Support 
Document on the accompanying compact disc for 
information about whom you should contact.
