Hardware Preparation and Installation

Damage of Circuits

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

1.Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the strap to an electrical ground. Make sure that it is securely fastened throughout the procedure.

2.Remove VME filler panels from the VME enclosures, as appropriate.

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

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

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

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

7.Verify that the board 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 board.

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