Installing the hyperSTATION Upgrade
2-8 hyperSTATION Upgrade Installation Guide
Notice that the Model 30 MBus slots are arranged as stacked pairs; one lower slot and one
upper slot. You must install the first card in the lower slot. Install the second card (if
applicable) in the upper slot. Model 6 has only one MBus slot.
To install the MBus modules:
1. Be sure the disposable grounding strap is attached to your wrist and to the power
supply casing.
2. Remove the hold-down thumbscrews from the standoffs located on both sides of the
MBus connector.
3. Remove the ROSS hyperSPARC MBus module from its anti-static packaging.
Note: Handle the MBus module by the edges.
Important:
MBus slot 0 (the lower slot) must have a module installed or the system will
not work. If you have only one MBus module, it must be installed in slot 0.
4. Insert the back edge of the MBus module between the lower and upper metal tabs
located on the back panel of the hyperSTATION Motherboard.
Position the MBus module connector over the receiving connector on the
motherboard. (If you have a single MBus module, it must be installed in slot 0, the
lower slot).
5. Firmly but carefully push the MBus module connector into the receiving connector on
the motherboard. Do not force the MBus module 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.
6. Install the hold-down thumbscrews provided to secure the MBus card in the
connector.
Repeat these steps for each MBus module you need to install.
