Installing an Interface Board

1. Carefully insert the board in the proper slot in the card cage, ensuring that the board does not slip out of the top and bottom card guides.

   The component side of the board must face to the right.

2. Ensure that both extraction levers are in the outward position as you slide the board toward the centerplane connectors.

   The board will not seat fully unless the levers are in this starting position.

   Caution -

   DO NOT FORCE any board into a slot; this can cause damage to the board and system. The board should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds, remove the board and inspect the card cage slot for any obvious obstructions. Also inspect both the board and the centerplane for bent pins or other damage.

3. Use the extraction levers to seat the board.

   Simultaneously swing both levers into the locked position. Do not press on board to seat it; doing so will damage the connector pins.

4. Secure the board to the chassis using the two captive screws.

5. Reonnect any fiber optic cables to the board front panel.
