1.2 INSTALLING THE SWPIM-E1
The SWPIM-E1 can be installed in any available open slot in the host
platform. To install the SWPIM-E1, proceed as follows:
1. Unfasten the screw and remove the blank panel covering the slot in the
host platform in which the SWPIM-E1 will be installed. See
Figure 1-1.
2. Ensure that the antistatic wrist strap is attached and used as
recommended.
3. Remove the SWPIM-E1 from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the
event the device must be removed from the host platform).
4. Hold the SWPIM-E1 with the faceplate facing away (right side up)
from the host platform. The 40-pin connector should be facing towards
the empty slot, with the wide part of the connector oriented down, as
shown in Figure 1-1.
5. Locate the rail guides inside the slot in which the SWPIM-E1 will be
installed. See Figure 1-1.
6. Install the SWPIM-E1 in the host platform by aligning the SWPIM-E1
with the rail guides in the host platform and sliding it in. Take care that
the SWPIM-E1 slides in straight and properly engages the backplane
host connector. Do not force the device.
NOTE
It is not necessary to power down the host platform to install
the SWPIM-E1.
