Installing the 9121 Into a Frame Slot
CAUTION
Heat and power distribution requirements within a frame may dictate specific
slot placement of cards. Cards with many heat-producing components should
be arranged to avoid areas of excess heat build-up, particularly in frames
using only convection cooling.
CAUTION
Note: A Rear I/O Module is required before cabling can be connected. Refer to
Installing a Rear I/O Module (p. 2-1) for rear I/O module installation proce-
dure.
CAUTION
If required, make certain Rear I/O Module(s) is installed before installing the
9121 into the frame slot. Damage to card and/or Rear I/O Module can occur if
module installation is attempted with card already installed in slot.
Note: Check the packaging in which the 9121 was shipped for any extra items such
as a Rear I/O Module connection label. In some cases, this label is shipped
with the card and to be installed on the Rear I/O connector bank correspond-
ing to the slot location of the card.
Install the 9121 into a frame slot as follows:
1. Determine the slot in which the 9121 is to be installed.
2. Open the frame front access panel.
3. While holding the card by the card edges, align the card such that the
plastic ejector tab is on the bottom.
4. Align the card with the top and bottom guides of the slot in which the
card is being installed.
5. Gradually slide the card into the slot. When resistance is noticed, gently
continue pushing the card until its rear printed circuit edge terminals
engage fully into the rear I/O module mating connector.
This device contains semiconductor devices which are
susceptible to serious damage from Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD). ESD damage may not be immediately
apparent and can affect the long-term reliability of the
device.
Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments
such as carpeted areas, and when wearing synthetic fiber
clothing. Always use proper ESD handling precautions
and equipment when working on circuit boards and
related equipment.
