hyperSTATION Upgrade Installation Guide 2-5
4. Use a screwdriver to remove the stay screws or loosen the captive screws for the
motherboard.
5. Grasp the motherboard assembly by the back panel and gently pull the motherboard
out of the computer.
The back panel and motherboard should come smoothly out of the computer.
If it appears to be caught on something, stop pulling and examine the motherboard to
determine what is wrong. Remove any additional cables that are connected to the
motherboard.
When the motherboard is free from the computer, place it on a clean, anti-static surface.
After you install the hyperSTATION motherboard, Use the packaging to return the
SPARCstation motherboard to ROSS Microcomputer. The SPARCstation motherboard
must be returned to ROSS Microcomputer within 45 days of purchase. If you are
upgrading a Sparcstation 20, use the module packaging to return the old modules to ROSS
Microcomputer Corporation as well.
Task 4: Install the hyperSTATION motherboard
Important:
The hyperSTATION motherboard is designed to fit into any standard Sun
SPARCstation 5 or SPARCstation 20 chassis. If your computer has a
nonstandard chassis you must replace two plastic feet on the underside of the
motherboard before you install the motherboard in the computer. The
hyperSTATION Upgrade kit includes alternative plastic feet.
To replace the plastic feet on the motherboard:
• Remove the upgrade motherboard from its anti-static packaging and place it
upside-down on the anti-static packaging.
• Remove the two plastic feet from the bottom side of the motherboard.
(The feet are held on with glue and should peel off easily.)
• Locate the replacement plastic feet in the hyperSTATION
Upgrade package.
• Attach the replacement feet to the motherboard. Peel off the paper on each
plastic foot to expose the glued surface. Press the glued surface of the foot to
the motherboard.
To install the hyperSTATION Upgrade motherboard:
1. Be sure the disposable grounding strap is attached to your wrist and to the power
supply casing.
