Service Manual. This manual contains the power on procedures.

To Install the Rear Transition Card
Install the rear transition card in the rear CompactPCI slot that you selected in
“Selecting a CompactPCI Slot Pair in the System” on page 9.
1. Retrieve the wrist strap from the adapter’s ship kit.
2. Attach the adhesive copper strip of the antistatic wrist strap to the metal chassis of
the system. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side
against your skin.
3. If the rear slot contains a factory-installed filler panel, remove the filler panel
before installing the rear transition card.
Refer to the system’s documentation for instructions on how to remove the filler
panel. Typically, you will need to loosen the filler panel’s captive screws before
removing the panel from the system.
4. Remove the rear transition card from its antistatic envelope and place it on an
ESD mat (if available) near the system.
If an ESD mat is not available, you can place the card on the antistatic envelope it
was packaged in.
Before installing the card in the system, you will need to open the card’s ejection
levers (see
).
5. With the card resting on the mat, press the levers outward to open the ejection
levers.
The card may contain different types of ejection levers. For example,
shows two possible types of levers. The levers may also contain a locking
mechanism that must be unlocked before you can open the levers.
