Caution:
To protect the PCI cards from ESD damage,
SGI recommends that you use a grounding
wrist strap while installing a PCI card.
Installing PCI Cards in the Three-Slot Blade
Use the following instructions and illustrations to install or replace a PCI/PCI-X card in the
three-slot blade:
1.
Follow the instructions in “Replacing IRU Components” on page 110 and extract the
three-slot blade from the IRU.
2.
To extract the card carrier from a slot in the blade, pull the handle on the selected card carrier
straight out, as shown in Figure 6-15.
3.
If you are replacing a card, gently remove the existing card from the carrier.
4.
If you are adding a card, extract the carrier metal filler plate by pushing down on it, as shown
in Figure 6-16. This filler plate covers the area where your card connectors will protrude out
to the rear panel of the blade.
