Getting Started
CompactPCI Card Installation/Removal Procedure
1. Place the chassis on a level surface. Remove the blanking plates where
required by undoing the retaining screws at each end. Retain the blanking
plates for possible future use. The system should not be put into use
without blanking plates for all empty slots, otherwise the EMC and cooling
performance will be compromised
2. Hold the SBC module, peripheral card or PSU module vertically. For PSU
modules, make sure that the handle is unlatched (i.e. that it is pulled
downwards) by first pressing on the locking button with your thumb.
3. Carefully insert the module into the desired slot by sliding the edges of the
board into the appropriate card guide rail. Take care to ensure correct
alignment of the card with the chassis during insertion to prevent damage
to the card and/or backplane.
4. Continue inserting the card until the handle engages with the chassis.
5. Pull upwards on the handle for final insertion. For PSU modules, ensure
that the locking button on the handle is fully latched into position. Fasten
the retaining screws at each end of the card (2 for single slot cards, 4 for
double slot cards).
