Removing a Graphics Board, Option Board, or Blank Panel With No Baffle
143
Before you install a graphics or option board, you need to remove a protective blank
panel or other graphics or option board. The processes for removing a standalone
graphics board, option board, and blank panel are the same. The process for removing
an option board attached by flex cables to the graphics board involves extra steps.

Warning:
The heat sinks on the XIO boards become very hot. Wait 5 minutes after
powering off the OCTANE workstation before you remove the XIO module. Test
before touching any of the XIO boards.
Graphics boards may use one slot (A) or two (D and A). Figure 5-11 shows the
OCTANE/SI graphics board in Slot A. Graphics boards using two slots have the I/O
connector positioned in slot A.
