3.2.1.3 Installing a Rear Panel I/O Board
The following steps cover the mechanical aspects of installing an Intel
I/O (RPIO) board. RPIO boards may be installed at the rear of the ZT 5085 in slots 1-21.
1. Shut down all system operations and move the power standby switch to the standby position
(
installation while the system is powered on).
2. Choose an appropriate slot for the RPIO board. RPIO boards must be installed in-line behind
their companion boards. For example, if the companion board is installed in slot 3, its RPIO
board must be installed at the back of the system in slot 3.
3. Prepare the board by opening the injector/ejector mechanisms (refer to
Ejector Operation (Board-Level Components)" on page
4. Connect any internal system cabling, such as cabling to an IDE device, to the appropriate
headers on the processor board. Route the cabling so that it doesn't become snagged or kinked
when the board is inserted.
5. Carefully align the edges of the board with the card guides in the appropriate slot. It may be
helpful to look into the enclosure to verify correct alignment of the rails in the guides.
6. Taking care to keep the board aligned in the guides, slide the board in until the injector/ejector
mechanisms engage the retention bars.
7. Simultaneously push in the board and rotate the injector/ejector mechanisms to their closed
positions (rotate inward) to seat the midplane connectors.
8. Make the desired connections at the board's faceplate.
9. Enable power or install the corresponding front panel board.
3.2.1.4 Removing a Rear Panel I/O Board
The following steps cover the mechanical aspects of removing an Intel
I/O (RPIO) board from a ZT 5085 system. RPIO boards may be installed at the rear of the ZT 5085
system in slots 1-21.
1. Shut down all system operations and move the power standby switch to the standby position
( ), or remove the corresponding front panel board (some boards may not support removal
while the system is powered on).
2. Disconnect connections at the faceplate.
3. Unscrew any retention screws that fasten the board to the enclosure.
4. Open the injector/ejector mechanisms, rotating the handles outward until the board disengages
from the midplane (refer to
5. Begin to slide the board evenly out of the enclosure.
6. Before pulling the board out entirely, check for internal cabling attached to the board that may
become snagged or that needs to be disconnected before the board can be fully removed.
Disconnect cabling as necessary.
7. Slide the board evenly out of the enclosure.
8. Install a replacement board or cover the empty slot with a filler panel to maintain the
enclosure's shielding and cooling performance.
9. Reinstall the front panel board if removed in step 1, or restore power.
