[5]: Bottom Slot Installation
Instructions for installing an option card into one of the bottom slots (
3
, or
5
):
a.
Safely power down the unit and remove the top cover of the main chassis (housing). Save the screws.
DANGER!
SecureSync does not have an ON/OFF switch. It is necessary to unplug the
machine to remove power!
Caution:
NEVER install an option card from the rear of the unit, ALWAYS from the top,
after removing the chassis cover.
b.
Remove the blank option card plate, or the existing option card in the slot. Save the screws.
If a card is populating the slot above the bottom slot your option card is to be installed into, remove it tem-
porarily (also remove and save the standoffs for reuse).
c.
Insert the card into the bottom slot by carefully pressing its connector into the extension board connector
(see Figure below), and by lining up the screw holes on the card with the screw holes on the chassis.

d.
Using the supplied M3 screws, screw the board, and the option card plate into the chassis, applying a torque
of 0.9 Nm/8 in-lbs.
If you are reinstalling an option card above this one, you should instead follow the instructions for
Slot Installation, Bottom Slot Occupied" on page 12
(you will be using standoffs in this situation).
Caution:
Align and secure screw holes to chassis to avoid equipment damage.
