Hardware Installation Installing the board in the system

Installing a board with digital inputs/outputs

The locks on the top and bottom side of both CompactPCI brackets need to be unlocked and opened before installing the board into a free

slot of the system. Therefore you need to press the little buttons on the inside of the fasteners and move them outwards (see figure). Now slowly

insert the card into the host system using the key ways until both locks snap in with a „click“.

While inserting the board take care not to tilt it.

After the board’s insertion fasten the four screws of both brackets carefully, without overdoing. The figure shows an example of a board with

two installed modules.
