PS6500 Hardware Maintenance Maintaining the EIP Card
6-5
To install a new EIP card:
1. Hold the replacement EIP card by the mounting bracket and orient the card in the direction shown in Figure 6-
3, with the thumbscrew toward the front of the array.
2. Carefully slide the replacement EIP card completely into the slot. Use the metal groove on the rear of the slot
as a guide. Do not force the card into the slot. Make sure the card is completely seated. The card should not
protrude from the top of the chassis.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to gently tighten the EIP card thumbscrew.
Note: The array will emit an audible signal when the EIP card boots.
4. Close and lock the chassis cover. See Opening and Closing the Chassis Cover on page 1-9.
5. If the array was shut down, turn on power to the array. See Turning on Power to an Array on page 1-13.
6. Reinstall the bezel. See Removing and Installing the Bezel on page 1-8.
Make sure that the new EIP card is operational. See EIP Card Status on page 6-3.
When you replace a failed EIP card, return the card in the packaging in which the replacement card was shipped.
