1.2 INSTALLING THE SWPIM-T1
The SWPIM-T1 can be installed in any available open slot in the host
platform. To install the SWPIM-T1, proceed as follows:
1. You do not need to power down the host platform to install the
SWPIM-T1. The SWPIM-T1 can be installed into the host platform
with the power on or off.
2. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in the host platform in which
the SWPIM-T1 will be installed. See
Figure 1-1 .
3. Ensure that the antistatic wrist strap is attached and used as
recommended.
4. Remove the SWPIM-T1 from the plastic bag. (Save the bag in the
event the device must be removed from the host platform).
5. Hold the SWPIM-T1 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 .
6. Locate the rail guides inside the slot in which the SWPIM-T1 will be
installed. See
Figure 1-1 .
7. Install the SWPIM-T1 in the host platform by aligning the SWPIM-T1
with the rail guides in the host platform and sliding it in. Take care that
the SWPIM-T1 slides in straight and properly engages the backplane
host connector. Do not force the device.
