Add-In Card Expansion
For added expansion, the FlexPAC provides four PCI slots. The add-in card
slots are mounted on a passive backplane which sits at a 90 angle from the
system board. Any size card, up to the maximum PCI specified standard can
be used (XT or AT height and anywhere from half to full length).
Card Retaining Foam Blocks
Because the FlexPAC is a portable workstation, the add-in cards must be
properly installed and securely retained to prevent movement during
transport. The units are shipped from the factory with a stationary card
retaining foam block attached underneath the card retention plate (see Figure
5.7). It holds the full length system board firmly in place. It will also secure
and hold in place any additional full-length add-in cards you may install. An
extra foam block is provided to use as needed. It can be used for securing
multiple sized cards or as a replacement for the original. Placement of the
spare foam block is determined by the need, size and location of the cards.
Add-In Card Installation
The outer casing and the card retention plate must be removed to access
the add-in card slots. A 3mmhex driver is needed to remove the outer casing
and a small size phillips-head screwdriver is needed for the add-in card
installation. Use the following procedure to install an add-in card.
1. Make sure the system is disconnected and powered “Off.” Remove the
outer casing (see “Removing the Outer Casing” ). Place the system back
in an upright position with the display facing you.
2. Using a small size phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two upper
screws securing the card retention plate (see Figure 5.3) Then, use the
phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws securing the right
side of the card retention plate, above the I/O opening (see Figure 5.4).
3. Carefully lift up the right side (above the I/O opening) of the card
retention plate first (see Figure 5.5), and then the left side, disengaging
the notched end from the mating slots. Remove the card retention plate
from the main unit.
