Sun Microsystems 6U manual To Install the Rear Transition Card

▼To Install the Rear Transition Card

Install the rear transition card in the rear CompactPCI slot that you selected in “Selecting a CompactPCI Slot Pair in the System” on page 9.

1.Retrieve the wrist strap from the adapter’s ship kit.

2.Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal chassis of the system. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side against your skin.

3.If the rear slot contains a factory-installed filler panel, remove the filler panel before installing the rear transition card.

Refer to the system’s documentation for instructions on how to remove the filler panel. Typically, you will need to loosen the filler panel’s captive screws before removing the panel from the system.

4.Remove the rear transition card from its antistatic envelope and place it on an ESD mat (if available) near the system.

If an ESD mat is not available, you can place the card on the antistatic envelope it was packaged in.

Before installing the card in the system, you will need to open the card’s ejection levers (see FIGURE 2-2).
