  • Page 16: Sbp-205 Installation

    Swapping out the single board computer(s) is one way the MaxPro and ProRack systems can be customized and upgraded. Overview The SBP-205 connects to any CSS Laboratories passive backplane through one EISA connector with a PCI bus extension. This SBC connector socket combination is located on the passive backplane.
  • Page 17 5. Close the system case. 6. Reconnect the power cord and the external connectors, and power up the system. As the system boots, the BIOS will detect the SBP-205 settings. You may need to manually reconfigure the system. See BIOS Configuration for procedures to configure the BIOS and CMOS.
