5.4 Installing the cPCI-3620 to the Chassis
The cPCI-3620 may be installed in a system or peripheral slot of a
3U CompactPCI chassis. These instructions are for reference
only. Refer to the user guide that comes with the chassis for more
information.
1. Be sure to select the correct slot depending on the oper-
ational purpose of the module. The system power may
now be powered on or off.
2. Remove the blank face cover from the selected slot, if
necessary.
3. Press down on the release catches of the cPCI-3620
ejector handles.
4. Remove the black plastic caps securing the mounting
screws to the faceplate.
5. Align the module’s top and bottom edges to the chassis
card guides, and then carefully slide the module into the
chassis. A slight resistance may be felt when inserting
the module. If the resistance it too strong, check if there
are bent pins on the backplane or if the board’s connec-
tor pins are not properly aligned with connectors on the
backplane. Then push the board until it is completely
flush with the chassis.
6. Push the ejector handles outwards to secure the module
in place, and then fasten the screws on the module face-
plate.
7. Connect the cables and peripherals to the board, and
then turn the chassis on if necessary.
