To install an additional MEGAPLEX or MEGAPORT board, perform
the following procedure (refer to Figure 2-4):
1. Locate the J2 connector on the board to be installed. This is
located just below the J3 connector. Plug the short inter-
connect cable into the J2 connector.
2. Locate the free expansion slot located to the left (facing the
front of a desktop chassis computer) or below (for tower
chassis) of the previously installed MEGAPLEX board.
Remove the expansion slot cover by first removing the screw
which holds the cover in place. Then lift off the slot cover
completely.
3. Insert the board firmly in the computer's expansion slot. Be
sure the gold striped end of the board is seated properly in
the slot's groove and the bracket of the board is in the
groove which previously held the slot cover.
4. After making sure that the top of the board's bracket is
aligned with the hole on the top of the expansion slot,
replace the screw which previously held the expansion slot
cover. Tighten the screw firmly.
5. Connect the interconnect cable on the newly installed board
to the J3 connector on the previously installed board located
to right of the new board.
6. If more than one additional MEGAPLEX board is being
installed, repeat steps 1 through 5 for each board.
Note: If the computer has trouble finding the second MEGAPLEX
board, suspect a faulty connection with the 1" interconnect cable.
Remove the interconnect cable and reinstall it making sure none of
the pins are bent and all the pins are enclosed by the interconnect
cable.
