Installing a Board in the PCIX Unit

Note: Before you install an I/O board, see the previous sections to choose the correct slot location for your board.

! CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection. ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you wear an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your system when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards. Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.

Access covers, proper cooling and airflow. For proper cooling and airflow, always install access covers before turning on the system. Operating it without the covers in place can damage system parts.

Note: I/O boards are hot-pluggable. Installation does not require shutting down the system.
