5Prepare the new PCI board for installation:

a Remove the add-in board from its protective wrapper. Be careful not to touch the components or gold edge connectors. Place the add-in board with the component side up on an antistatic surface.

b Record the serial number of the add-in board in your equipment log.

For a sample equipment log sheet, refer to page 197.

cSet jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6On the edge opposite the connectors, grasp the board by both corners. Orient the board to the vacant hot-plug slot so that the metal retention bracket is toward the rear of the chassis.

7Insert the board into the front and rear retention mechanisms. Carefully push down on the board until it engages and fully seats in the slot connector.
