Installing the cPCI-3615 to the Chassis

The cPCI-3615 may only be installed in a system slot of a 3U
CompactPCI chassis. These instructions are for reference only.
Refer to the user guide that comes with the chassis for more infor-
mation.

1. Be sure to select the correct slot depending on the oper-

ational purpose of the module. The system power may
now be powered on or off.

2. Remove the blank face cover from the selected slot, if

necessary.

3. Press down on the release catches of the cPCI-3615

ejector handles.

4. Remove the black plastic caps securing the mounting

screws to the front panel.

5. Align the blade’s top and bottom edges to the chassis

card guides, and then carefully slide the blade into the
chassis. A slight resistance may be felt when inserting
the blade. If the resistance it too strong, check if there
are bent pins on the backplane or if the board’s connec-
tor pins are not properly aligned with connectors on the
backplane. Then push the board until it is completely
flush with the chassis.

6. Push the ejector handle outwards to secure the blade in

place, and then fasten the screws on the front panel.

7. Connect the cables and peripherals to the board, and

then turn the chassis on if necessary.
