Installing In A Compactpci Backplane Using A Carrier - Rastergraf Topaz User Manual

4.6 Installing in a CompactPCI Backplane using a
Carrier
You can install a graphics board into a CompactPCI computer if you first
plug it into a PMC-to-CompactPCI adapter board (see
Important Compatibility Note).
Installation Procedure
1. Shut down the operating system and turn off the power.
Warning!
Never open the computer without turning off the power supply. Unless
internal AC wiring is exposed, leave the power cord plugged in, so as to
ground the computer chassis. You can easily get shocked, ruin computer
parts or both unless you turn off the power. Even with power switched off,
lethal voltages can exist in the equipment.
2. Open the computer and identify the empty slot in the card cage that is
closest to the CPU. Do not leave any slots empty between the graphics
board and the CPU.
The graphics boards are Universal PCI devices and can be plugged
into a position which uses either 5V or 3.3V signaling protocol.
Therefore, a CompactPCI J1 connector signaling key plug is not
necessary. Note that when used with a Topaz, Stratus, Tropos, Garnet,
or Duros, the carrier's high 32 bits are not connected.
