3.8 Main Board Installation
Use the following procedure to install the cPCI-6810/6820 main board to its
CompatPCI chassis.
Step 1: Refer to the relevant chassis user manual for pre-preparation of the
chassis before installing the main board. Users need to assign a
slot to the board. Be sure to select the correct slot (system or
peripheral) depending the operation purpose of the board. The
system power may now be powered on.
Step 2: Remove the blank face panel from the slot.
Step 3: Align the top and bottom edges of the board with the card guides on
the chassis then slide the board into the chassis until resistance is
felt. If the system power is on, the blue LED (hot-swap status)
should light.
Step 4: Move the upper and lower ejectors in an inward direction
simultaneously. Note a small amount of resistive force will be felt
while inserting the board. If this resistive force is higher than in
normal conditions, check to ensure that there are no pins bend on
the backplane and that the board’s connector pins are aligned
properly with the connectors on the backplane.
Step 5: Verify that the board is seated properly. With the board in place and
the blue LED on, wait for the blue LED to go out before proceeding
to the next step.
Step 6. Secure the two screws hidden behind the upper and lower ejector;
connect the proper cables to the board.
