APPENDIX E: Installing Cards in the ServSwitch Affinity
E.5 Installing or Swapping In an Expansion Card
Unscrew and remove any blank plate over the opening of the top slot or (on a
16-User Affinity chassis) the bottom slot.
4-User Affinity only: Gently remove any Terminator Card installed in the slot.
(Several things to note: You should always have a plate covering this slot when a
Terminator Card is in it. If there is a plate, you can save it if you want to, but you
shouldn’t need it any more; the Expansion Card has its own termination circuitry,
so you wouldn’t normally ever have to replace it with a Terminator Card, even if
you operate the Affinity unit by itself. You should never leave the Affinity without
any card at all installed in this slot, because the unit will be totally disabled.)
Carefully slide the Expansion Card into the vacant slot, as shown in Figure E-5,
and screw it on securely. (The Expansion Card must be installed in an expansion
slot, not any of the other four slots.) Run Expansion Cables from the IN and OUT
ports of this card to your other Affinity units; see Section 3.3.
