8. Remove the Workstation Support Brace.
The Workstation Support Brace lies across the workstation just above the TARGA card(s)
and other workstation cards. Refer to Figure 5-1. There are two screws on each end of the
brace that must be unscrewed so that the support brace can be removed from the
workstation.
9. Remove retaining screw and pull the TARGA card from the PCI slot.
Unscrew the retaining screw that secures the TARGA card’s bracket in place. Save the
screw because it will be used with the new card. Firmly lift the TARGA card from its slot
by pulling upwards while using a gentle lengthwise rocking motion, and set the card aside.
10. Remove the new TARGA card from its antistatic bag.
Make sure you are grounded via the antistatic wrist strap. Handle the card by its edges and
by its metal bracket, and avoid touching the connector pins on the bottom of the card. If a
black handle is connected to the TARGA card, remove the handle so that the TARGA
looks similar to that shown in Figure 5-2.
11. Insert the new TARGA card into the expansion slot.
Note:
The same expansion slot that the damaged card was pulled from should be used.
With the bracket toward the open access port, align the connector on the bottom of the
card directly over the slot. Then push down and gently rock the card lengthwise until the
card is firmly seated. When pushed into the slot the TARGA card may catch as if it were
in place, so gently continue to exert pressure until it “seats” again. The gold slot
connectors on the card are barely visible when the card is completely installed.
Important:
Don’t over force the card. If there is hard resistance, remove the card and try again.
12. Secure the TARGA card’s bracket with retaining screw.
Use the card retaining screw that was removed earlier to secure the TARGA card’s bracket
in place.
13. Attach the REF 1 internal BNC cable to the REF BNC connector on the TARGA
card.
Refer to Figure 5-5. Push the BNC cable grip onto the card’s BNC connector. The BNC
cable grip should then be turned clockwise to lock it onto the card’s BNC connector.
Note:
All REF BNC’s are the same.
