Installing the hyperSTATION Upgrade
hyperSTATION Upgrade Installation Guide 2-7
Both hyperSTATION motherboards provide four SBus slots. Notice that the SBus
slots on Model 30 are arranged as stacked pairs; one lower slot and one upper slot. If
you have more than one SBus card, install the first card in the lower slot. Install the
second card in the upper slot.
To install an SBus card in the hyperSTATION motherboard:
• Use the grounding strap provided
• Remove a cover plate on the back panel to create an opening for card connectors.
Use a screwdriver to remove the screws for the cover plate.
• Remove the hold-down thumbscrews from the standoffs located on both sides of
the SBus connector.
• Insert the SBus card into the slot space with the card connectors (or metal bracket)
against the back panel of the computer. The SBus card connector (if present)
should appear in the opening on the back panel.
Note: AFX Bus cards must be removed from SPARCstation 5 computers where fitted
and cannot be reused with the new hyperSTATION motherboard. SBUS graphics
options must be used.
• Position the SBus card connector over the receiving connector on the motherboard
then firmly but carefully push the connector on the card into the receiving
connector until the SBus card is firmly seated.
Important:
Do not force the SBus card into the receiving connector. Excessive force may
bend or damage connector pins. If the card does not seat with firm but careful
pressure, remove the card from the computer and try again.
• Replace the hold-down thumbscrews to secure the SBus card in the connector.
Task 5: Install the ROSS hyperSPARC module(s)
Your hyperSTATION Upgrade kit includes one or more ROSS hyperSPARC MBus
modules. Refer to the packing list included with your hyperSTATION package for this
