Warning – The heatsinks on the SuperSPARC module may be hot. Use caution
when removing or installing SuperSPARC modules and avoid contact with the
heatsinks. Hold SuperSPARC modules only by the edges.
Each system board has two SuperSPARC module connectors, designated A and
B. See Figure E-1. Modules mount above the system board on standoffs.
Modules should first be installed in the A connectors on consecutive system
boards starting with the system board in slot 0. After all of the A connectors
are filled, begin filling the B connectors, starting with the system board in slot
0 and working down.
