3.1. SHIPS MODULE INSTALLATION
CAUTION
If hot swapping is not available, then failure to turn off your computer before removing or
installing a SHIPS module may result in data loss.
CRU has designed the QX118 to support hot swapping. However, your entire system must
support hot swapping, including your motherboard, BIOS/UEFI, CPU, operating system,
and host bus adapter. CRU sells hot-swap-capable HBAs and cables to help simplify your
installation needs. They are available on the QX118 product page at
.
1. Power off your computer. If you have hot swapping capability, then you may ignore this step.
2. Unlock the module slot door.
If you have the Push-Button Version: Push the button located on the right side of the QX118 to re-
lease the module slot door. Then move the door out of the way.
If you have the Lock Version: Firmly place the included key into the square keyhole on the right side
of the QX118 to release the module slot door. Then move the door out of the way.
