2.5 Card Installation
The MIC-3640 is a PCI bus master card. It can be installed only in a
CompactPCI slot which supports bus master function. Some proces-
sor boards do not support bus master for each slot. Please refer to the
user's manual of the processor board in use.
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 insert/eject handle of the MIC-3640 helps you to install and
remove the card easily and safely. Follow the procedure below to
install the MIC-3640 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. Holding the lower handle, pull out the red portion in the middle of
the handle to unlock it.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the hinge 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 guide.
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.
Note: If the card is correctly positioned and has been slid
all the way into the chassis, the handle should match
the rectangular holes. If not, remove the card from
the card guide and repeat step 3 again. Do not try to
install a card by forcing it into the chassis.
5. Lift the lower handle up to push the card into place.
6. Secure the card by pushing in the red handle to lock it into place.
