Installing the PARTNER API Card
The PARTNER API card is used with PARTNER ACS Release 6 or later.
1
Power down the system before inserting or removing a PC Card.
If you have a stand-alone or 2-slot carrier, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and
disconnect the power cord from the power jack on the carrier.
If you have a 5-slot carrier, move the carrier's On/Off switch to Off (O) and unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
2
Remove the carrier's cover.
If you do not have a 5-slot carrier, go to Step 3.
If you have a 5-slot carrier, loosen the thumbscrew at the bottom of the carrier cover and
rotate the carrier cover to disengage the tabs at the top of the modules from the openings
on the top of the carrier cover.
3
If your card comes with a write-protect tab, verify that the
write-protect tab on the PC Card is not in the write-protected
position. If it is, use a paperclip or another pointed object to
push the write-protect tab on the end of the PC Card upward
to the unprotected position.
Remove all other PC Cards from the processor before initiating
an upgrade.
4
Remove all other PC Card(s) from the PC Card slot(s)
on the processor module by gently pulling each card
straight out (with the power off).
5
Insert the PC Card by holding it with the label facing, to
the right, and sliding it gently into one of the PC Card
slots on the processor module. When inserted properly,
the PC Card projects about 1-5/8" (4 cm) from the
module.
To initialize the system, you MUST insert the enclosed PC Card before powering up the system for
the first time.
6
Reconnect the power cord to power up the system.
The power cord should hang straight down from the connector, flush against the plastic case for the
entire length of the board. Do not install the power cord at an angle to the case or with a loop in it.
