Installing the board

To install a TX 4000C board, complete the following steps:

Step

Action

1

Power down the chassis and disconnect it from the power source. This step is suggested for new configurations.

2

Remove the rear access panel. You must install the rear I/O transition board before installing the TX 4000C board.

3

Verify that the chassis slot has the appropriate keying as described in Keying the chassis.

4

Slide the rear I/O transition board into a slot at the rear of the chassis.

Caution:

Some older CompactPCI chassis may not have a rear connector alignment feature. The rear I/O transition board requires this feature to allow insertion. Contact the chassis manufacturer to find out if your chassis supports this rear alignment feature. Use caution when inserting the board into the backplane mating connector.


5

Seat the rear I/O transition board by rotating the top and bottom handles.

6

Fasten the transition board to the chassis with the screws on the upper and lower handles.

7

Slide the TX 4000C board into the corresponding slot in the front of the chassis.

8

Seat the TX 4000C board into the backplane by rotating the top and bottom handles toward each other.

9

Fasten the board to the chassis with the screws on the upper and lower handles.

10

Replace the covers and connect the chassis to its power source.
