Chapter 3 Installing the TimeProvider
Working With Cards
Inserting Cards
This procedure is common for all cards.
Note: Cards can be removed and inserted while system power is supplied
without damaging modules; however, system performance may be affected.
Caution: For continued EMC compliance, replace all deformed module
gaskets with the same type. Clean gaskets and mating surfaces. Secure all
cards with captive screws.
To insert a card into the shelf:
1. Align the card edges within the guides of the selected slot.
2. Slide the card into the chassis and press firmly until it seats fully into its
backplane edge connector.
3. Tighten the captive screws located on each side of the panel.
Caution: To avoid possible damage or intermittent failures, ensure that you
have completely inserted the card into the chassis and that you have
securely tightened the captive screws.
Removing Cards
To remove an IOC, lift the tabs on the front panel and slide it out of the shelf. Be
sure to place the card on a static-free surface.
To remove the IMC, Input, or Output modules, loosen and then pull out on the
captive screws.
