Installing the board

Complete the following steps to install the TX 5000E board in your system:

Warning:

Do not touch, spin, or apply pressure to the rotating part of the fan as this may shorten the operational life of the fan.


Step

Action

1

If necessary, configure the board as described in Configuring the DIP switches.

2

Power down the computer and disconnect the power cord from the power source.

3

Remove the cover from the computer and set it aside.

4

If you are placing the board into a PCI 2.2 compliant chassis, remove the PCI retainer bracket by unscrewing it from the board. The bracket is not needed for the board to properly fit into the chassis.

5

Remove the blank slot cover from an open PCIe slot.

6

Arrange the TX 5000E board and other H.100 boards in adjacent slots.

Insert the TX 5000E board firmly into the slot. Ensure that the gold-striped edge of the board is seated properly in the expansion slot groove and the bracket of the board is seated in the groove that previously held the slot cover.

7

Align the top of the board bracket with the hole on the top of the expansion slot, and replace the screw that previously held the blank slot cover.

8

Connect the H.100 bus cable to the TX 5000E board.

If you have multiple H.100 boards, connect the H.100 bus cable to each H.100 board.

9

Replace the cover, and connect the computer to the power source.
