TSM500i-PCIe Hardware Installation
The following steps are to be followed when installing the TSM500i-PCIe into a PC. The term PC here also
applies to servers.
Locate the PC’s card installation documentation and ensure that you are familiar with the safety
instructions and precautions conveyed in this document.
Turn OFF the PC and ensure all attached devices are also off.
Remove the cover from the PC and locate a suitable PCI express expansion slot (as described in Section
1). Access to the expansion slot may differ for machines from different vendors, please refer to your
vendor documentation.
Remove the TSM500i from the protective static bag.
To prevent Electro Static Discharge, it is advisable to wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling
the card.
Failure to do so may result in the module entering the Tampered State
.
The following precautions MUST be used when not using an anti-static wrist strap.
o
Ground yourself by making contact with the case of the machine for at least 2 seconds.
o
Limit your movements as to prevent excessive build-up of static electricity.
o
Handle the card at its edges only. Do not touch exposed circuitry and components.
Insert the module into an available PCI express slot ensuring that the card is correctly seated.
Secure the card to the case using the appropriate screws.
Replace all covers and reattach all cables that were disconnected.
