Move the contents of one PCI card cage at a time from the 8200 to the 8400. This
makes it easier to maintain the KFTIA/KFTHA hose number connections, to
eliminate device reconfiguration. Likewise, transfer the I/O devices connected to the
adapters from one PCI card cage at the same time.
1. Disconnect the power cables,
cables that prevent the PCI shelf from being pulled out. Keep the hose cable
with the adapters you remove from the shelf, so that when you transfer the
adapters the hose number connections remain the same. (Remember that you
labeled the hoses when removing them from the KFTIA/KFTHAs, as described
on page 9.)
2. Remove the five Phillips head screws that hold the card cage and the cable
management rack to the frame (see
3. Pull the shelf out fully.
4. Remove the top cover by loosening the two quarter-turn screws, lifting the top
of the cover away from the card cage, and then pulling the cover to the right and
off (see
).
5. Remove any cables attaching I/O devices to the PCI from the front of PCI option
cards. Label each adapter and each shelf or I/O device to which it is connected,
for reinstallation in the 8400.
6. Note the slot number from which the option is being moved. Lift each PCI
option from its slot carefully, and place it in an antistatic bag. Label the bag
with the slot number. Also label the bag to indicate the shelf or device to which
it was attached, and label the I/O device(s) to show which devices belong to
each option.
7. When all PCI option cards have been removed from one shelf, reattach the top
cover and slide it back into the cabinet. Reattach the mounting screws.
8. Move the PCI option cards and the I/O cables to the 8400. Proceed to the next
page.
