3.1.1
General Advisories
Before installing or removing any board, please ensure that the system power and
external supplies have been turned off.
Check that jumpers and mezzanines are correctly configured for your application.
Mount the board, mezzanine, or transition module very carefully. See also sections
on additional advisories below.
Do not restore power until you are sure that all modules are fitted correctly and all
connections have been made properly.
3.1.2
Advice on CompactPCI Products
Mount the CPU board carefully on the first CPCI bus slot (called system slot). Note
that on some boards connectors are used for IO purposes which must not be inserted
into a CPCI bus backplane. A transition module must be used instead.
Because the board is available in several options the description in this chapter is
related to the standard configuration.
NOTE
Make sure that the card ejectors are closed and the Hot Swap LED (blue) is OFF.
