INSTALLING THE SWPIM-BRI

The SWPIM-BRI can be installed in any available open slot in the host
platform. To install the SWPIM-BRI, proceed as follows:

1. You do not need to power down the host platform to install the

SWPIM-BRI. Check the host platform software manual to see if
desired parameters would be lost from memory upon power down of
the host platform.

2. Remove the blank panel covering the slot in the host platform in which

the SWPIM-BRI will be installed, by prying it off the faceplate.

3. Ensure that the antistatic wrist strap is attached and employed as

recommended.

4. Remove the SWPIM-BRI from the antistatic bag. (Save this bag in the

event the device must be removed from the host platform).

5. Hold the SWPIM-BRI with the faceplate facing away (right side up)

from the host platform. The 40-pin connector should be facing towards
the empty slot, with the wide part of the connector oriented down. See
Figure 1-1.

6. Locate the rail guides inside the slot in which the SWPIM-BRI will be

installed, as shown in Figure 1-1.

7. Install the SWPIM-BRI in the host platform by aligning the

SWPIM-BRI with the rail guides in the host platform and sliding it in.
Take care that the SWPIM-BRI slides in straight and properly engages
the backplane host connector. Do not force the device.
