Installing the Plug-in Modules
This section describes how to install the plug-in modules into the
chassis. The modules plug into a backplane connector and are secured
to the chassis with a screw at the top and at the bottom of the module
faceplate.
A hardware interface file (hwi file extension) defines each type of
module and maps each module location for the system software. The
hwi file and the physical locations for each type of module must
match. Recommended standard module locations are described in the
following sections. For more information on the hwi file, see the Hwi
File Editor manual.
The plug-in modules contain static-sensitive components.
Improper handling of the module can cause component damage.
Be sure to follow these precautions when handling modules:
• Turn off electrical power before installing or removing a module.
• Use a static ground strap to ground yourself to the chassis ground
before touching the chassis or a module.
• Keep unused modules in conductive bags. Also be sure you are
grounded when removing a module from a conductive bag.
• Handle modules with their front panel or circuit card edges. Do not
touch any circuit card components, pins, or circuit connection points.
VMEbus Modules
The VMEbus compatible modules should be installed in the front panel
chassis slots according to the following guidelines.
• The processor module(s) must be located in the first (and second)
slots.
• The GRESIII module (if used) should be located in slot 10. It may
also be located in slot 2 if a second processor is not used.
• I/O carrier modules and/or ADDA II modules can be installed in
slots 3 to 10. Install a module in slot 3 and any additional modules
to the right of it.
