Below are the steps necessary to install a NetBlaster adapter into a standard cPCI system.

Installing the Hardware

This procedure is for installing NetBlaster 470 Series cPCI adapter into a system with an available 6U cPCI slot. The ZX470 requires a cPCI chassis that supports Rear Panel I/O. You must also use the appropriate rear transition module for your configuration. Some steps in this procedure may vary depending on the specific system used. Refer to the system’s documentation if necessary. The figure below shows the installation of an adapter in a typical system.
