Disassembling the Boards
The USPIIe family includes a Baseboard, an optional PMC Carrier Board, and an optional
TGA3D+ video card. These instructions depict the disassembly of a dual-slot Baseboard
plus PMC Carrier Board, but also apply to a dual-slot Baseboard plus TGA3D assembly,
and to a triple-slot Baseboard with a PMC Carrier Board and TGA3D assembly.
1. Remove the 3 faceplate screws, and the 4 VME connector screws at the locations
shown in
Figure A-1
.
(If possible, measure the torque needed to remove these screws, as equal torque
should be applied during reassembly).
Once these screws have been removed, the only mechanism holding the boards
together is a high-density connector which routes PCI bus signals between the boards.
