2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Card Installation and Removal
The CompactPCI connectors are firm and rigid, and require careful
handling while plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a
card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis.
The system card can be installed only in the system slot. The
CompactPCI specification allows the system slot to be at any position
in the backplane. Do not insert the system card into any other slot, or
insert a peripheral card into the system slot. The MIC-3021/8 may
accept different backplanes, thus the location of the system slot may
vary. The system slot is marked by a triangle enclosing the slot
number. Please refer to the backplane user's manual.
The inject/eject handles on CompactPCI cards help you to install and
remove the cards easily and safely. Follow the procedures below to
install a card into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card vertically. Be sure that the card is pointing in the
correct direction. The components of the card should be pointing
to the right-hand side.
2. Be sure that the handles of the card are not latched. Release the
handles if they are latched. Handles from different vendors may
have different latch designs.
Caution:
Keep your fingers away from the latch hinges to
prevent your fingers from getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the upper and lower
edges of the card into the card guides.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card
guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
