Replacing Processor Modules

You can replace an interface processor in any of the eleven interface processor slots, numbered 0

through 5 (CyBus 0) and 8 through 12 (CyBus 1), from left to right, viewing the chassis from the

interface processor end. (See Figure 1.) Slot 6 or 7 can contain the RSP2. Blank processor module

ﬁllers are installed in slots without processor modules to maintain consistent air ﬂow through the

card cage.

Handling a Processor Module during Installation

Handle processor modules by the handles and carrier edges only to prevent ESD damage.

Turn OFF power to the chassis. If two power supplies are installed, the power switch on

each supply must be in the OFF (O) position.

Processor modules are secured with two captive installation screws. Use a number 1

Phillips or a 1/4-inch ﬂat-blade screwdriver to loosen the two captive installation screws

and remove the processor module ﬁller (or the existing processor module) from the slot to

be ﬁlled.

Hold the processor module handle with one hand, and place your other hand under the

carrier to support it. (See Figure 5.) Avoid touching the board.

Place the back of the processor module in the slot and align the carrier guides along the

sides of the processor module with the grooves in the top and bottom of the slot. (See

Figure 3a.)

While keeping the processor module at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane, carefully

slide the processor module into the slot until the processor module faceplate makes contact

with the ejector levers.
