7. Lift the rear cover to expose the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.

8. Loosen the screw that secures the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.

9. Grasp the cover by its exposed, long side and lift the cover over the non-hot plug boards away

from the chassis. You can completely remove the cover if you want by unseating the slot
hinge. Access is now available to the two non-hot plug PCI slots and the Legacy I/O board.

10. Release the plastic retaining mechanism (I/O Card Guide) that secures the end of the board

nearest the front of the chassis so that it will allow a board to be inserted

11. Be sure that the rocker switch that secures the end of the board nearest the rear of the chassis is

in the open position. If not, press the center of the rocker switch until it clicks open and then
rotate the mechanism downward from outside the chassis.

12. If you are adding a new board, remove the perforated rear panel cover in the slot you’re using

by pushing it out from inside the chassis.

NOTE

Ensure you save the slot covers for use later to prevent EMI interference. These
slot covers make a better metal-to-metal contact than previous slot cover designs.

13. Being careful not to touch the components or gold edge connectors on the add-in board,

remove it from its protective wrapper and place it component-side up on a nonconductive,
antistatic surface.

14. Record the serial number of the board in your equipment log. See Appendix B for the

equipment log.

15. Press the PCI adapter board down firmly until it seats in its slot.

16. Close the plastic latching mechanism (I/O Card Guide) that secures the end of the board

nearest the front of the chassis.

17. Rotate the rocker switch near the rear of the chassis up until it clicks into place.

18. Install the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover by aligning the slotted hinge into the chassis

housing, closing the cover, and securing the cover screw.
