Using the EPC-7 AM
ÿ Slide the front-panel retainer clip down until it is secure against the add-in
card end plate flange. Tighten the thumb screw.
ÿ If you previously removed the rear panel of the EPC7-AM, replace it now.
Make sure to align the rear edge of the add-in board so it inserts into the card
guide on the rear panel and restore the four screws that attach the rear panel
to the EPC7-AM.
CC
ÿ Replace the side panel of the EPC7-AM with the 8 screws removed
previously.
The add-in card is now installed and ready to use.
NOTE
There are a few full length PC add-in cards whose exceptionally large dimensions
will require you to also remove the front panel of the EPC7-AM for proper
installation.
To remove the front panel, start by prying off the name plates on the top and bottom
handles of the EPC7-AM. This exposes two screws that hold the top and bottom
handles in place. Remove both screws. Note that removing the screw on the bottom
handle will cause the retainer slot on the inside of the front panel to fall off. Refer to
Figure C-4, above. Next, remove the four corner screws that hold the front panel to
the top and bottom rails. You can now remove the front panel itself and install the
add-in card as described earlier.
Once the add-in card is in position and you have replaced the rear-panel, replace the
front panel by reversing the above procedure. Note that when screwing the bottom
handle back on the front panel, you will need to hold the retainer slot back in place on
top of the add-in card's metal end plate.
WARNING: Any component on the add-in card that exceeds 0.50" in height will
mechanically rest on the EPC7-AM internal adapter board. Though this will not cause
any electrical interference, it may cause premature failure of that component due to
mechanical fatigue. Most PC and PC/AT add-in cards do NOT exceed this height.
