Sun Microsystems 6U manual To Install the Rear-Access Front Card

▼To Install the Rear-Access Front Card

After installing the rear transition card, you can install the front card. The front card is hot-swap aware, which means the system will recognize the card during the installation.

1.Walk to the front of the server.

2.Confirm or reattach your wrist strap to the system’s chassis and to your wrist.

If necessary, remove the strap from the rear of the chassis and attach it to the front of the chassis.

3.Locate the slot where you plan to install the front card.

Caution –This card must be installed in the front CompactPCI slot that is directly associated with the rear slot where you installed the rear transition card. If you install the card in a different slot, the system may panic.

For example, if you installed the rear transition card into the rear slot 3, you must install the front card into the front slot 3. See “Selecting a CompactPCI Slot Pair in the System” on page 9 for more information.

4.If the front slot contains a factory-installed filler panel, remove the filler panel before installing the 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.

5.Remove the 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.
