8-10-3-3 Front Plane Cards installation procedure
Follow these steps to install the Front Plane Cards:
NOTE: The silk print on the two cards say “Lower Frontplane only” This statement is from an earlier
design, and is not valid anymore.
1.) Install the GRLY and GTX boards.
2.) Holding the upper and lower edges of the board with both hands, carefully install the lower Front
Plane Board. Ensure that you do not bend any of the connector pins during the installation.
Be sure to apply even pressure across the board and to apply gentle, even pressure at the 4 corners
of the Front Plane Board to make full contact with the other boards.
3.) Repeat step 2 for the other Front Plane Card.
4.) Install the FEP Cover and fasten it with its fixing screws.
5.) Plug in the PCIe (GFI) Cable.
6.) Install the cover for the PCIe cable to the front of the GFI board.
