Chapter 2 Installation 13
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components in a
static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag
when they are not in the chassis.
Before you begin installation, double check the jumper settings for
the card (described in Chapter 1). This could save you a lot of
troubleshooting time later. If you are not sure about the proper
setting, contact your local distributor or sales representative.
Install your CPU card as follows:
1. Remove power from the chassis and disconnect all power
cords. Follow all power-down procedures outlined in your
chassis user’s manual.
2. Remove the chassis cover, then detach the card hold-down
bracket. This bracket stretches across the top of each circuit
card to hold it securely in place.
3. Locate a free slot in the chassis. You can use any 16-bit (double
connector) slot. We suggest that you leave the maximum
amount of space between boards to improve cooling.
4. You may need to remove a block-off cover at the end of the
slot. Unscrew the cover and save the screw for use in Step 6.
5. Align the card square with the card-end guide slot and parallel
to the connector. Slide the card carefully into the connector.
6. Make sure the card is completely seated in the connector. Screw
the card I/O bracket to the case.
After you have installed the CPU card, you will need to attach the
connecting cables as described in the following chapter. When you
are finished installing the CPU card, replace the card hold-down
bracket you removed in Step 2, replace the chassis cover and
power-up your system.
