Adding a Storage Resource Card (SRC)

NOTE:The SIO cards must be added first before adding the corresponding SRC cards.

1. Observe all ESD precautions.

2. From the front of the cabinet, loosen the SRC filler card's one captive screw from the left side of the face plate. A Phillips screw driver may be required to loosen the screw.

   a) View the SRC card illustration.

3. Pull the lock and ejector handles outward completely to release the filler card from the mid-plane chassis.

4. Slide the filler card out of its slot until it is completely removed from the chassis.

5. To maintain proper cooling do not leave the card slot empty for an extended length of time.

6. Insert the new SRC card, making sure that the lock and ejector handles are completely open and slide the card into the slot until it connects with the chassis mid-plane. Alignment pins located on the edge of the card should be aligned with the guide holes in the chassis. Use care not to bend any pins.

7. Push in the lock and ejector handles to secure the SRC card in place. The card face should be flush with the adjoining cards in the chassis.

8. Secure the card by tightening the captive screw on the card face plate.
