Hardware Installation
4. Hardware Installation
Read the safety instructions at the beginning of this document carefully,
before you start with the hardware installation!
Danger!
Electric shock risk. Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
Attention !
Electrostatic discharges may cause damage to electronic components. To avoid
this, please discharge the static electricity from your body by touching the metal
case of the PCI Express system
before
you touch the PCIe-XPIMC-Carrier.
Procedure:
1.
Switch off your computer and all connected peripheral devices (monitor, printer, etc.).
2.
Discharge your body as described above.
3.
If not already done, plug on the PMC/XMC module and PIM module, which are to be used.
4.
Disconnect the computer from the mains.
If the computer does not have a flexible mains cable, but is directly connected to mains,
disconnect the power supply via the safety fuse and make sure that the fuse cannot switch
on again unintentionally (i.e. with caution label).
Danger!
Never carry out work while power supply voltage is switched on!
5.
Open the case.
6.
Insert the PCIe-XPIMC-Carrier board into the selected PCIe slot. Carefully push the board
down until it snaps into place. It is strongly recommended to install additional mounting
brackets due to the high mass of of a PCIe-XPIMC-Carrier with installed PIM and PMC/XMC
modules. Care must be taken especially during transport of the PC with installed PCI-XPIMC-
Carriers.
7.
Close the computer case again.
8.
Connect the interfaces in the front panel of the PCIe-XPIMC-Carrier via the connectors. The
type of interface and connector depends on the PIM or PMC/XMC board used.
9.
Connect the computer to mains again (mains connector or safety fuse).
10. Switch on the computer and the peripheral devices.
11. End of hardware installation.
