Installing the hyperSTATION Upgrade
2-6 hyperSTATION Upgrade Installation Guide
2. Remove the hyperSTATION motherboard from its anti-static packaging.
Pick up and handle the motherboard by holding the back panel. Avoid touching
the circuit board or any components. If you must touch the circuit board, hold it
by the sides.
3. Align the hyperSTATION motherboard with the plastic slots on each side of the space
for the motherboard. These slots support the motherboard inside the computer chassis.
4. Slide the motherboard into the computer using the plastic side slots as a guide. The
motherboard should slide easily into the computer chassis. The front edge of the
motherboard should fit into a plastic slot that runs parallel to the front of the computer.
5. Secure the motherboard to the computer with the stay screws provided with the
hyperSTATION Upgrade kit.
6. Connect the following cables to their new connectors on the hyperSTATION
motherboard:
• Floppy Drive cable (If Present)
• SCSI device cable
• Power supply cable
• LED/speaker cable
The number and type of cables you need to connect may vary depending on your
SPARCstation configuration. Refer to the hardware manual provided with your
SPARCstation for details.
Note: Some SPARCstation 5 computers have a CD audio cable. There is no internal
connector on the hyperSTATION motherboard for this cable. For multimedia
applications to provide playback from the internal speaker, an external patch
cable included must be routed from the headphone out jack of the CDROM to
the Audio in jack on the back of the hyperSTATION motherboard.
7. Install the SBus card(s) you removed from the SPARCstation 5 or SPARCstation 20
motherboard in the SBus connectors provided on the hyperSTATION motherboard.
