1.
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect
its leash to an ESD connection socket on the front of the chassis or to a bare
metal surface on the chassis.
2.
Choose a mated SFC slot with an OIM.
3.
Remove the SFC you are installing from its antistatic packaging.
4.
Use the screwdriver to unscrew and remove the sheetmetal cover
over the HBMT connectors on the rear of the SFC, and set it aside.
5.
Remove the caps from the HBMT connectors on the back of the card,
and set them carefully aside.
6.
Visually inspect the connector on the card before you insert it
into the chassis. Do not attempt to install a card with a damaged or dirty
connector, as this action may damage the backplane connector or OIM.
7.
Position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid
touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
8.
Grasp the slide assistance arm with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into the correct slot. DO NOT LIFT CARDS BY THE SLIDE-ASSISTANCE ARM; lift them from the bottom, using the slide-assistance arm only as an aid for balance. See the figure below.
9.
Slide the card halfway into the slot.
10.
Pivot both card ejector levers so the openings on the card
ejector cams at the top and bottom of the card pass over the tabs on each side
of the card cage slot.
11.
Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the
openings on the card ejector cams engage the tabs on each side of the card cage
slot.
12.
To seat the card in the backplane connector, grasp both card
ejector levers and pivot them inward toward the handle in the card carrier
until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
13.
Use the screwdriver to turn the two captive screws on the front
panel of the SFC clockwise to seat the card firmly in the slot.
