1. Open the protective packaging and take out the system board.
2. Carefully insert the board in the proper slot in the card cage, ensuring
that the board does not slip out of the left and right card guides.
The component side of the board must face up.
3. Ensure that both extraction levers are in the outward position as you slide
the board toward the backplane connectors.
Refer to Figure 2-2. The board will not seat fully unless the levers are in this
starting position.
Caution – DO NOT FORCE any board into a slot, this can cause damage to the
board and system. The board should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds,
remove it, and inspect the card cage slot for any obvious obstructions. Also
inspect both the board and the backplane for bent pins or other damage.
4. Use the extraction levers to seat the board.
Simultaneously swing both levers into the locked position. Do not press on
board to seat it—doing so will damage the connector pins.
5. Install two screws to secure the board to the card cage.
Refer to Figure 2-1.
6. Connect any applicable interface cables to the system board back panel.
2.3 Using Standoffs
Plastic standoffs lock the SuperSPARC modules and SBus cards to the system
board. Refer to Figure 2-3.
•
To unlock a standoff, pull up the tip insert.

To lock a standoff, first ensure that the module or card rests on the standoff
flange, then press down the tip insert.
