Installation Guide

1. Install the CPU in Slot 1 of the RX7i main rack.
2. For redundant systems, install a second identical CPU in the redundant rack and configure synchronization.
3. Connect Ethernet cables to the embedded Ethernet ports for primary and redundant communication.
4. Install the appropriate battery or auxiliary battery module for memory retention.
5. Configure the CPU using Proficy Machine Edition software, enabling redundancy features as required.
6. Verify system operation and synchronization through diagnostic tools.

Selection Guidelines

• Select IC698CRE040 for high-availability applications requiring redundancy and 600 MHz processing performance.
• Compare with non-redundant models (e.g., IC698CPE040) when redundancy is not required.
• Ensure compatible RX7i racks, power supplies, and firmware versions are used in redundant configurations.
