3.2 Add-In Boards
All add-in board modules are mounted through the front of the
enclosure. They are held in place with two injector/ejector handles
that stabilize the boards when they are engaged.
The 0818D provides for full hot swap of add-in boards to PICMG 2.1
R2.0 and PICMG 2.12 R1.0 standards, supporting both vendor
specific hot-swap software or Pigeon Point Systems Hot Swap Kit
software. For full I/O Board hot swap with Pigeon Point software the
system must be running:
a) Microsoft Windows 2000 (Advanced Server, Server,
Professional)
b) Microsoft Windows NT with a Hot Swap Manager
Other full I/O hot-swap software may be supported under other
operating systems. Consult the specific vendor documentation for
details and operating systems supported.

4. Completely retract the injector/ejector handles of the add-in
board module by pressing them away from each other.

done.
1. (Non-Hot swap only) Shut down the system and turn off the main
system power.
