Installing a Daughter Board
To install a daughter board, follow the instructions outlined below:
•
Turn off the power to the computer and peripherals, and
disconnect all power cords and cables.
•
Remove the computer cover and select a slot for the daughter
board, adjacent to the slot occupied by the FDDI adapter. We
recommend the slot immediately to the left of the FDDI
adapter as viewed from the rear (bracket) of the adapter.
•
If you have not done so, remove the daughter board from its
protective pouch, and visually inspect it.
•
Refer to the installation procedures for the FDDI adapters in
Chapter 2, Section 2.4.1, Installing the F30XX Model Adapters,
and Section 2.4.3, Installing the F70XX Model Adapters. Install
the daughter board as you would the respective model adapter,
in a slot adjacent to the adapter.
•
Connect the daughter board to the FDDI adapter. Plug the
interconnecting ribbon cables into the FDDI adapter and
daughter board connectors as shown in Figure 3-5, on the next
page. Observe the polarized keying of the cable and
connectors.
