SPA Installation and Removal
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing a SPA in a SIP.
Caution When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
SPA. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap. Do not directly touch the
midplane or backplane with your hand or any metal tool.
See Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage, page 4-8 for information about ESD.
Installing a SPA in a SIP
To install a SPA in a SIP, do the following:
Step 1 To insert the SPA in the SIP, locate the guide rails inside the SIP that hold the SPA in place. They are
at the top left and top right of the SPA slot and are recessed about an inch.
Step 2 Carefully slide the SPA all the way in the SIP until the SPA is firmly seated in the SPA interface
connector. When fully seated, the SPA might be slightly behind the SIP faceplate.
Step 3 After the SPA is properly seated, fasten the SPA in place with the captive installation screws on either
side of the SPA.
Removing a SPA from a SIP
Before you remove a SPA from the SIP, read this important information about SPA cable clips that will
help to make removing the SPA easier. The SPA accessory kit is shipped with three different versions
of cable clips, as shown in Figure 6-3.
