PE3RR PCI Expansion| 13
2 Hardware Installation
The following steps will guide you through the installation of your OSS Expansion System.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning
All PCI cards are susceptible to electrostatic discharge. When moving PCI cards, it is best to carry the cards in anti-static
packaging. If you need to set a PCI card down, be sure to place it inside or on top of an anti-static surface. For more
information, see “Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.
WARNING
High voltages are present inside the expansion chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the enclosure cover. Turning the system power off at the
power on/off switch does not remove power to components. High voltage is still present.
CAUTION
Before touching anything inside the enclosure, move to an ESD station and follow proper ESD procedure. Failure to do so
may result in electrostatic discharge damaging the computer or its components. For more information, see “Protecting
Against Electrostatic Discharge” in the Preface.
STOP
If your OSS expansion chassis was not purchased directly from OSS, you must check to ensure that it does not contain any
pre-installed PCI cards.
Check the rear side of the chassis to see if any PCI cards are visible in the slots. If you see a PCI card, you should continue
installation using instructions provided by your dealer. If no separate instructions are available, remove the cover by using
instructions in Step 1. Then remove the card as normal. If no PCI card is visible, then continue with the cable installation.
