one of the ground lugs on the SDM-9600 chassis.
2. Select an available blade slot on the front of the SDM-9600 chassis. These are the
wide slots labelled from
1
to
5
down the left side.
There is no loading sequence; any slot can be chosen. You do not need to disconnect
any cables connected to the ports on other blades.
3. If a filler panel is installed in the blade slot, remove it as follows:
a.
Unscrew the 2 knurled M3 retention screws that hold the filler panel into
place on both sides
These screws can be loosened, but not removed.
b.
Slide the filler panel out of the chassis, and set it aside.
Important:
Keep the filler panel for possible reuse at a later time. To limit
electromagnetic interference and ensure optimum ventilation, there should be
no large openings in the SDM-9600 chassis. If you decide to remove a blade at a
later time, you will need to replace the filler panel for that slot.
4. Carefully remove the SDM-9606 blade from its protective packaging.
CAUTION:
Do not expose the blade to a magnetic field or electrostatic charge at
any time. Damage to its components could result. Use ESD procedure at all
times.
5. Hold the blade so that the printing on its front panel is right side up, and slide it into
the slot from the front of the chassis.
CAUTION: Do not force the blade into the slot. If the blade is properly
aligned, it should slide easily all the way in along the guide rails provided.
6. Press the blade firmly into place, so that the two alignment holes at the rear of the
blade connect with the pins at the rear of the chassis slot.
When the front face of the blade is flush with the front of the chassis, the card
handles will close toward the center.
CAUTION:
Carefully insert each blade fully into the unit. If a blade is not
correctly installed, proper contact cannot be made with the power source.
7. To secure the blade in place, press the 2 retention screws in and tighten them
clockwise.
8. Ensure that both card handles are pressed flat against the blade:
• Push the small lever into its housing on the card handle, then
