1-3. How to install the option boards

The option boards are installed in the mainframe. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the option board concerned.

Notes

 Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to do the job of installing or removing the option boards.  Before installing or removing an option board, turn off the power, and disconnect the power plug.  Before coming into physical contact with the option board, touch your hand to metal that has been grounded

to discharge the static electricity in your body. A safe way to proceed is to wear an anti-static wrist strap.

The option board may be damaged if you touch the board with static still in your body.  Avoid damage to the option board by not dropping it or subjecting it to strong shocks or vibrations.  After removing an option board, be absolutely sure to attach the blank panel.  When installing or removing an option board, take care not to hurt yourself on the edges or metal parts of the

board.



Turn off the power of the mainframe, and disconnect the power cord.



Loosen the two screws of SLOT A or SLOT B at the back of the mainframe, and remove the blank panel.
