---|---|---|---|
Solution:
The MIC-3660 is a PCI bus master card. It can be installed only in a CompactPCI slot which supports a busmaster card. Some processor boards do not support bus master for each slot. Refer to the user's manual of your processor board. 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 insert/eject handle of MIC-3660 helps you to install and remove the card easily and safely. Follow the procedure below to install the MIC-3660 into a chassis:
To install a card:
1. Hold the MIC-3660 vertically. Be sure that the card is pointing in the correct direction. The components of the card should be pointing to the right-hand side.
2. Holding the handle, pull out the red portion in the middle of the handle to unlock it. Caution: Keep your fingers away from the hinge to prevent your fingers from getting pinched.
3. Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the upper and lower edges of the card into the card guides.
4. Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card guides until the handle meets the rectangular holes of the cross rails.
Note: If the card is correctly positioned and has been slid all the way into the chassis, the handle should match the rectangular holes. If not, remove the card from the card guide and repeat step 3 again. Do not try to install a card by forcing it into the chassis.
5. Lift the handle up to push the card into place.
6. Secure the card by pushing in the red handle and tighten the screws on the front panel to lock it into place.
To remove a card:
1. Unscrew the two screws on the front panel. Pull out the red part to unlock the handle.
2. Press the handle down to release the card from the backplane.
3. Slide the card out.
