How to Install a Mezzanine Card
Each Model 494.40 I/O Carrier board has four slots where you can install
mezzanine cards.
The plug-in boards and cards contain static-sensitive components.
Improper handling of boards and cards can cause component damage.
Follow these precautions when handling boards and cards:
• Turn off electrical power before installing or removing a board.
• Use a static ground strap to ground yourself to the chassis ground
before touching the chassis or a board.
• Keep unused boards and cards in conductive bags. Also, be sure you
are grounded when removing a board or card from a conductive bag.
• Handle boards with their front panel or circuit card edges. Do not touch
any circuit card components, pins, or circuit connection points.
Mezzanine cards can be installed incorrectly.
An incorrectly installed mezzanine card can cause the controller to
operate in an unspecified manner or damage electronic components.
Ensure that mezzanine cards are properly aligned and seated on the I/O
carrier connectors.
1. Turn off the AC power switch on the back of the chassis before
installing or removing boards.
2. Use a static ground strap (MTS part number 100-183-454) to ground
your body to chassis ground before touching the chassis or a board.
