User Card Installation
CAUTION
Make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the card into the
frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if module
installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
Note:
Depending on option(s) ordered, Fusion3G
®
cards may consist of a main
card and a piggyback (expansion) option card. If equipped with a piggyback
card, both cards as a unit will require simultaneous alignment with slot
guides and rear modules in the following steps.
1.
Determine the slot in which the card is to be installed.
2.
Open the frame front access panel.
3.
While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the
plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.
4.
Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the
card is being installed.
5.
Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently
continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals
engage fully into the rear module mating connector.
CAUTION
If card resists fully engaging in Rear I/O Module mating connector, check for
alignment and proper insertion in slot tracks. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O
Module may occur if improper card insertion is attempted.
6.
Repeat for other cards.
Cards contain semiconductor devices which are
susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately
apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the
device.
Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments
such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber
clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions
and equipment when working on circuit boards and
related equipment.
