3.5.6.2Installing a Fibre Card

1.Use the procedures in Section 3.5.2, “Removing a Board,” to remove the applicable I/O board.

Note – If required, remove the OLC plug that protects the fiber optic connector opening on the front panel of the I/O board. These OLC plugs are installed in factory shipped systems without fibre cards installed.

2.Locate the card slot for installation.

See Figure 3-23 on page 3-32. You may need to remove the SBus cards over (or next to) this card to have enough room to hold onto the fibre card being installed.

Note – There are four plastic inserts located on the bottom of each card, two on each end of the card. These secure the card once they are inserted into corresponding openings on the I/O board. See detail in Figure 3-24 on

page 3-33.
