Before removing an option board, or blank panel from slot C or D, you must power off
your workstation, wait 5 minutes, attach the wrist strap, and remove the XIO Tri-Module
(See "Preparing the Workstation" on page 110 and follow the instructions through
removing the XIO Tri-Module). Also read "About the XIO Tri-Module and XIO Boards"
on page 108. The VPro graphics board is always installed in slot A/B, as shown in
Figure 5-12. Slot B is a daughterboard slot that is located on the other side of the VPro
graphics board.
Before you install an option board in slot C or D, you must remove the protective blank
panel or the option board currently installed in that slot. Follow the same procedure to
remove an option board or a blank panel.
Note: For instructions on removing a blank panel or daughterboard from slot B, see your
daughterboard installation guide.
