Add-in Boards Installing an Add-in Board CAUTIONS Do not overload baseboard: Do not overload the baseboard by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current. ESD and handling boards: Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the baseboard, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad-if available. Do not slide the board over any surface. 1. Remove access cover. 2. Remove add-in board from its protective wrapper. Be careful not to touch the components or gold edge connectors. Place board component-side up on an antistatic surface. 3. Record the serial number of the add-in board in your equipment log. 4. Set jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer's instructions. 5. Remove and save the screw that attaches the existing board or expansion slot cover to the chassis. 6. Remove and save the expansion slot cover. 7. Hold the add-in board by its top edge or upper corners. Firmly press it into an expansion slot on the baseboard. The tapered foot of the board retaining bracket must fit into the mating slot in the expansion slot frame. • Install an ISA board component-side UP. • Install a PCI board component-side DOWN. 8. Use the screw removed earlier to fasten the new board retaining bracket to the chassis. Tighten the screw firmly (6.0 inch-pounds). Attach cables if necessary. 9. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws. 92

add-in boards that draw excessive current.
ESD and handling boards:
Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to
ESD and always require careful handling.
After removing the board from its

grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad—if available.
Do not
slide the board over any surface.
1. Remove access cover.
2.
Remove add-in board from its protective wrapper.
Be careful not to touch the components or
gold edge connectors.
Place board component-side up on an antistatic surface.
3.
Record the serial number of the add-in board in your equipment log.
4.
Set jumpers or switches according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5.
Remove and save the screw that attaches the existing board or expansion slot cover to the
chassis.
6.
Remove and save the expansion slot cover.
7.
Hold the add-in board by its top edge or upper corners.
Firmly press it into an expansion slot
on the baseboard.
The tapered foot of the board retaining bracket must fit into the mating slot
in the expansion slot frame.
Install an ISA board component-side UP.
Install a PCI board component-side DOWN.
8.
Use the screw removed earlier to fasten the new board retaining bracket to the chassis.
Tighten the screw firmly (6.0 inch-pounds).
