Hardware Installation
Below are the steps necessary to install a NetBlaster adapter into a standard cPCI system.
Installing the Hardware
This procedure is for installing NetBlaster 470 Series cPCI adapter into a system with an
available 6U cPCI slot. The ZX470 requires a cPCI chassis that supports Rear Panel I/O. You
must also use the appropriate rear transition module for your configuration. Some steps in this
procedure may vary depending on the specific system used. Refer to the system’s documentation
if necessary. The figure below shows the installation of an adapter in a typical system.

Observe proper Electro-Static Discharge prevention
procedures at all times. Failure to do so may result
in damage to the PCI Adapter or to the system.

1. Turn off your system.
2. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis, or by using an
anti-static wrist strap. If you do not have a ground strap, maintain physical contact with the
case to maintain the same electrical potential with the system.
