Installing the cPCI-6615 to the Chassis

The cPCI-6615 can be installed in a system of a 6U CompactPCI
chassis. These instructions are for reference only. Refer to the
user guide that comes with the chassis for more information.

1. Be sure to select the correct system slot to install the

blade. The system power may be either powered on or
off.

2. Remove the blank face cover from the selected slot, if

necessary.

3. Press down on the release catches of the cPCI-6615

ejector handles.

4. Remove the black plastic caps securing the mounting

screws to the front panel.

5. Align the blade¡¦s top and bottom edges to the chassis

card guides, and then carefully slide the blade into the
chassis. A slight resistance may be felt when inserting
the blade. If the resistance it too strong, check if there
are bent pins on the backplane or if the board’s connec-
tor pins are not properly aligned with connectors on the
backplane. Then push the board until it is completely
flush with the chassis.

6. Push the ejector handle outwards to secure the blade in

place, and then fasten the screws on the front panel.

7. Connect the cables and peripherals to the board, and

then turn the chassis on if necessary.
