How to Remove a Mezzanine Card
The plug-in boards and cards contain static-sensitive components.
Improper handling of boards and cards can cause component damage.
Follow these precautions when handling boards and cards:
• Turn off electrical power before installing or removing a board.
• Use a static ground strap to ground yourself to the chassis ground
before touching the chassis or a board.
• Keep unused boards and cards in conductive bags. Also, be sure you
are grounded when removing a board or card from a conductive bag.
• Handle boards with their front panel or circuit card edges. Do not touch
any circuit card components, pins, or circuit connection points.
Mezzanine cards can be removed incorrectly.
Using a screwdriver or other instrument to remove the mezzanine card
can damage electronic components.
Use the proper technique (described in this document) to remove mezzanine
cards.
1. Turn off the AC power switch on the back of the chassis before
installing or removing boards.
2. Use a static ground strap (MTS part number 100-183-454) to ground
your body to chassis ground before touching the chassis or a board.
3. Remove the mezzanine card.
A. Place the I/O carrier board flat on an antistatic surface.
If the I/O carrier board is not flat, you will not be able to properly
remove the mezzanine cards.
