2.3 Installation Procedures
2.3.1 Card Installation and Removal
The CompactPCI™ connectors are firm and rigid, and require careful handling while
plugging and unplugging. Improper installation of a card can easily damage the
backplane of the chassis.
The system card can be installed only in the system slot. Do not insert the system
card into any other slot, or insert a peripheral card into the system slot. The system
slot is marked by a triangle enclosing the slot number 1 for MIC-3042A and 2 for
MIC-3042B. Please refer to the Appendix A and Appendix B for detailed backplane
information
The insert/eject handles on CompactPCI™ cards help users to install and remove the
cards easily and safely. Follow the procedures below to install a card into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the card horizontally. Be sure that the card is oriented correctly.
The components of the card should be pointing to the up side.
2. Be sure that the handles of the card are not latched. Release the handles if they
are latched. Handles from different vendors may have different latch designs.
Caution!!!
Keep your fingers away from the latch hinges to prevent your
fingers from getting pinched.
