2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Card Installation and Removal
The CompactPCI TM connectors are firm and rigid, and require careful
handling while plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a
card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis.
The system card can be installed only in the system slot. The
CompactPCI
TM
specification allows the system slot to be in any
position in the backplane. Do not insert the system card into the other
slot, or insert a peripheral card into the system slot. The system slot is
marked by a triangle enclosing the slot number. Please refer to the
backplane user's manual.
Note: Another easy way to distinguish the system slot is
that the system slot uses red guide rails while the
peripheral slots use gray ones.
The insert/eject handles on CompactPCI
TM
cards help users to install
and remove the cards easily and safely. Follow the procedures below
to install a card into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card horizontally. Be sure that the card is oriented
correctly. The components of the card should be pointing to the
upper side.
2. Be sure that the handles of the card are not latched. Release the
handles if they are latched. Handles from different vendors may
have different latch designs.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the latch hinges to
prevent your fingers from getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the both edges of the
card into the card guides.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card
guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
