Installing and Configuring Processor Modules
Figure 5-2 Handling an Interface Processor During Installation
Caution
Handle interface processors by the handles and carrier edges only to prevent ESD damage.
Step 1 Choose a slot for the new interface processor and ensure that there is enough clearance to
accommodate any interface equipment that you will connect directly to the interface
processor ports (for example, 10Base-T Ethernet transceivers that connect directly to EIP
ports may be wider than the interface processor and can obstruct connections on adjacent
interface processors). If possible, space interface processors between empty slots that
contain only interface processor fillers.
Step 2 Interface processors are secured with two captive installation screws. Use a number 2
Phillips or a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws and
remove the interface processor filler (or the existing interface processor) from the slot to be
filled.
Step 3 Hold the interface processor handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the
carrier to support the interface processor and guide it into the slot. (See Figure 5-2.) Avoid
touching the board.
Step 4 Place the back of the interface processor in the slot and align the notch on the bottom of the
interface processor carrier with the groove in the slot. (See Figure 5-1a.)
Step 5 While keeping the interface processor at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, carefully
slide the interface processor into the slot until the interface processor faceplate makes
contact with the ejector levers. (See Figure 5-1b.)
Step 6 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously push the top lever down and
the bottom lever up (see Figure 5-1c) to fully seat the interface processor in the backplane
connector.
