Installing Additional Cards into the
Netra ct Server
Note –
The instructions in this chapter are for installing additional cards into a
server as part of the overall installation process where the server is powered off. If
you are installing additional cards into a server that is powered on, follow the
instructions in the Netra ct Server Service Manual.
Every Netra ct server comes with the CPU card and, depending on whether you
have the front-access model or the rear-access model, the CPU front transition card
or CPU rear transition card, already installed. Every Netra ct server also comes with
an alarm card, and, if you have a rear-access model server, an alarm rear transition
card factory-installed.
If you have additional cards, such as any I/O cards, you will have to install those
cards at your site using the instructions in this chapter. If you do not have any
additional cards to install, go to Chapter 6.
Card slots designated for I/O cards and alarm cards have black rails; card slots with
red rails are reserved for the CPU card. There are also labels at the front of the
servers and the rear of the chassis that show the I/O slot numbers for front-access
and rear-access models, as well as the cards that are supported in each slot. For
front-access models, you can also determine the I/O slot numbers for your servers
by using the I/O slot numbers shown on the system status panels.
Antistatic Precautions
Before you can install any additional cards into your system, you must first take the
necessary antistatic precautions.
