1.10 Card Installation
The CompactPCI™ connectors are firm and rigid, and require careful
handling while plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a
card can easily damage the backplane of the chassis.
The inject/eject handles of MIC-3357 help you install and remove the
card easily and safely. Follow the procedure below to install the MIC-
3357 into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card vertically. Be sure that the card is pointing in the
correct direction. The components of the card should be pointing
to the right-hand side.
2. Pull out both handles to unlock it.
Caution:
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the upper and lower
edges of the card into the card guides.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card
guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
Note:
5. Pull the upper handle down and lift the lower handle up to push the
card into place.
6. Secure the card by pushing in the red handle to lock it into place.
To remove a card:
1. Unscrew the screws on the front panel.
Keep your fingers away from the hinge to prevent your
fingers from getting pinched.
If the card is correctly positioned and has been slid
all the way into the chassis, the handle should match
the rectangular holes. If not, remove the card from
the card guide and repeat step 3 again. Do not try to
install a card by forcing it into the chassis.
