Installing The Board In A Sun Pci Workstation; To Unpack The Board - Planar DOME Md4/PCX Installation Manual

Installing the Md4/PCX Board and Driver in a Sun PCI Workstation

Installing the Board in a Sun PCI Workstation

This section describes how to unpack and install the
Md4/PCX board in a Sun PCI workstation.
You must disable parity on a Sun Ultra workstation before
installing the board. If you do not, you will not be able to
boot the computer. See "Disabling Parity on a Sun Ultra
System" on page 72.

To unpack the board

Remove the Md4/PCX board slowly from its package and
protective sleeve, being careful to protect against static dis-
charge to the board.
Static electricity can damage the board. When you install
the board, wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch one
hand to a bare metal surface on the power supply to dis-
charge static electricity.
• While performing any part of the installation that
involves touching the board or parts of the motherboard,
keep one hand touching the metal surface to provide
grounding.
• If you can't perform a step with one hand, use both and
return one hand occasionally to the bare metal surface.
