Installation and Removal Procedure

Hardware Preparation and Installation	Installing and Removing the Board

Before you install your module, please read all cautions, warnings and instructions presented in this section.

Damage of Circuits

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation and removal can damage circuits or shorten their life.

Before touching the board or electronic components, make sure that you are working in an ESD-safe environment.

Product Damage

Only use injector handles for board insertion to avoid damage to the front panel and/or PCB. Deformation of the front panel can cause an electrical short or other board malfunction.

Use the following steps to install the MVME7100 into your computer chassis.

1.Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD strap to an electrical ground. The ESD strap must be secured to your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.

2.Remove any filler panel that might fill that slot.

3.Install the top and bottom edge of the MVME7100 into the guides of the chassis.

4.Ensure that the levers of the two injector/ejectors are in the outward position.

5.Slide the MVME7100 into the chassis until resistance is felt.

6.Simultaneously move the injector/ejector levers in an inward direction.

7.Verify that the MVME7100 is properly seated and secure it to the chassis using the two screws located adjacent to the injector/ejector levers.

8.Connect the appropriate cables to the MVME7100.

To remove the board from the chassis, reverse the procedure and press the red locking tabs (IEEE handles only) to extract the board.
