Installing the Multiport Card
Detailed installation procedures for cPCI cards can be found in your system instal-
lation or hardware documentation. The system documentation explains how the
slots are numbered and any special considerations you should note.
Electrostatic discharge and static electricity can damage integrated circuits
on the cPCI card and in the box.
Be sure to follow the precautions listed in your CompactPCI-based system docu-
mentation.
To install the multiport card:
1. Make sure the computer system is powered off.
2. Install the multiport card in the selected slot, following the instructions in your
system documentation. Use care to align the card correctly in the guide slots.
Gently, insert the multiport card using the injector/extractor handles. Be sure to
seat the card fully in the slot. Be sure that you secure the card in its slot with the
mounting screws. (The card could dislodge if it isn’t secured.)
3. (If applicable) Install the rear I/O card behind the multiport card.
4. Connect the distribution cable or box to the multiport card or rear I/O card, as
applicable. See Figure 1 on page 6
5. Turn on and boot the CompactPCI-based system.
Now you are ready to connect your peripherals.
