Getting Started 55
Some I/O ports are supported on both the front board and the
RTM, including Keyboard, Mouse, VGA, and USB. These I/O ports
can be connected either via the front or rear modules but DO NOT
access these ports on both front and rear simultaneously.
3.8 Main Board Installation
Follow the instructions below to install the cPCI-6810/6820 main
board to its CompactPCI chassis.
1. Refer to the relevant chassis user manual for pre-
preparation of the chassis before installing the
mainboard. Users need to assign a slot to the board. Be
sure to select the correct slot (system or peripheral)
depending on the operation purpose of the board. The
system power may now be powered on.
2. Remove the blank face panel from the slot.
3. Align the top and bottom edges of the board with the
card guides on the chassis then slide the board into the
chassis until resistance is felt. If the system power is on,
the blue LED (hot-swap status) should light.
4. Move the upper and lower ejectors in an inward direction
simultaneously. Note that some resistance will be felt
while inserting the board. If this resistance is unusually
high, check that no pins are bent on the backplane and
that the board’s connector pins are properly aligned with
the connectors on the backplane.
5. Verify that the board is seated properly. With the board
in place and the blue LED on, wait for the blue LED to go
out before proceeding to the next step.
6. Secure the two screws hidden behind the upper and
lower ejector; connect the proper cables to the board.
