3.3 INSTALLING THE 6H12X-08 INTO THE 6C105
CHASSIS
The 6H12X-08 can be installed in any of the five slots that are available in
the 6C105 chassis. To install a module, proceed as follows:
1. Locate the antistatic wrist strap shipped with the 6C105 chassis.
Attach the strap to your wrist and plug the cable from the antistatic
wrist strap into the ESD grounding receptacle at the upper right corner
of the 6C105.
2. Remove the blank panel covering the slot where the module will be
installed. All other slots must remain covered to ensure proper
circulation and cooling. (Save the blank plate in the event you need to
remove the module.)
3. Locate the slot guides that line up with the number of the slot in which
the module will be installed. Install the module in the chassis by
aligning the module circuit card between the upper and lower metal
rail guides of the desired slot, sliding it into the chassis, and locking
down the top and bottom plastic locking tabs, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Ensure that the module slides in straight and properly engages the
backplane connectors.

CAUTION
Failure to observe static safety precautions could cause
damage to the 6H12X-08. Follow static safety handling rules
and use the antistatic wrist strap provided with the 6C105
chassis. Do not cut the non-conductive bag to remove the
module. Damage could result from sharp objects contacting the
board or components.
!
CAUTION
To prevent damaging the backplane connectors in the following
step, ensure that the module slides in straight and properly
engages the backplane connectors.
NOTE
In the following step, ensure that the top plastic locking tab
lines up with the desired slot number located on the front panel
of the chassis. Refer to Figure 3-1.
