MVME7616E Transition Module Installation and Use (6806800A43D) 24
2.4 Installing the Transition Module and P2 Adapter
Install the MVME761 transition module and P2 adapter in the system chassis. The P2 adapter is
required because the P2 connector on the transition module is not compatible with the P2
connector on the chassis backplane.
ESD
Artesyn strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam pad
when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer
boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the system, place the
component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a board, component side
up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active electrical
ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
Install the MVME761-0x1 in the system chassis according to the procedures in this chapter.
An MVME5100/MVME5500 module that is designed for use with an MVME712M Transition
Module will be damaged if you use it with an MVME761-0x1 Transition Module.
Connecting modules while power is applied may result in damage to components on the
module.
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. use extreme
caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
