Installation
Procedure
The procedure for installing the P5000HX into a typical Texas
Micro chassis is described below.
Step #
Action
1
Remove power from the chassis and disconnect all
power cords. Use the provided grounding wrist strap to
discharge static electricity, which can damage compo-
nents. Follow all power-down procedures outlined in
your chassis’ user’s guide.
2
Remove the chassis cover, then detach the circuit card
hold-down bracket (if required). This bracket stretches
across the tops of the circuit cards and holds them in
place.
3
(For PCI operation; otherwise skip to step 4) Locate the
“platform” or “CPU” slot. If the CPU is installed in
another slot, it will be unable to communicate with any
third-party PCI adapter cards.
4
Remove the I/O bracket spacer from the rear of the
chassis (if required). This spacer occupies the area
where the card’s I/O bracket is accessed through the
back of the chassis.
5
Ensure that you’ve connected all desired peripherals to
the P5000HX on-board headers as outlined in
Section 2.4.
6
Place the board ends into the appropriate card guide
and card-end slot in the chassis. Lower the board into
position and carefully push the card-edge connector into
the slot. Ensure that the I/O bracket is accessible
through the back of the chassis.
7
Secure the card-edge I/O bracket to the hold-down lip
and attach any other cables to the P5000HX.
