Chapter 1: Installation
1.2INSTALLING 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.
Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic
!Discharge (ESD).
CAUTION
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.
