VERIFYING THE CPU CARD INSTALLATION
You can check the CPU card’s operating status by looking at the lights
on the front of the card. The following lights indicate that the card has
been properly installed in the matrix:
• The two power-supply lights, labeled “+5V” and “+3.3V,” illuminate
green steadily to indicate that the power supplies are present.
• The dot-matrix array of lights displays a number to indicate which of
the four stored configurations in the card’s memory is currently
operating.
• The “OK” light flashes to indicate that the CPU card software is
running.
• The “master” light illuminates steadily on the currently active CPU
card, indicating that the CPU card is properly installed and
operating correctly.
INSTALLING INTERFACE CARDS
Before installing an interface card, the card’s associated
rear-connector panel should be installed.
To install an interface card
1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Make sure the card
is aligned with the top and bottom precision guides.
2. Push the card toward the backplane connectors.
3. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open
the two ejector tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix.
Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane
connector guides.
4. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the
card into the backplane connectors.
To remove a CPU card from the matrix
1. The two card ejector tabs, located at the top and bottom of the CPU
card, hold the card in place in the matrix. To remove a card, open
the two ejector tabs at the same time until the card unseats from its
backplane connectors.
2. Pull the card out of the matrix.
STATIC SENSITIVITY
A circuit card’s components include CMOS chips that are sensitive to
static electricity. Before touching a card with your hands, touch a
grounded metal object, such as any unpainted surface on the matrix, to
dissipate static electricity.When handling a card, be careful not to bend
any of the card’s connector pins or component leads.
Store spare cards in electrically insulated packaging such as anti-static
heavy duty plastic bags or in unused port card slots in the matrix.
NOTE : If your computer does
not have a serial port, and
only offers USB, adapters are
generally available from
computer parts suppliers.
