Chapter 2: Hardware Installation 2-7
Intellicon-NT960/PCI User's Manual, ver. 0.02
To insert a SLIM into a connector follow these steps:
1. Place the SLIM into the socket almost vertically (about 75-
degree angle), making sure that it is properly oriented and
fully inserted into the socket.
2. Press downward and sideways on the SLIM until it latches
into the socket. Do NOT force the SLIM, the installation
process requires a small force and should be very smooth and
easy. If you encounter resistance then re-check the orientation
and insertion depth. Refer to Appendix F: SLIM
Insertion/Removal regarding the removal of the
ACM/Flex16 back cover and the insertion of a SLIM.
To remove a SLIM from a connector follow these steps:
1. Using both hands, place your thumbs on the metal clips that
hold the SLIM into the socket, and place your index fingers
on the edge of the SLIM.
2. Push outwards (with your thumbs) on the metal clips until the
SLIM is released from the clips. Your index fingers can then
raise the SLIM past the clips. The SLIM is then free to be
removed from the ACM/Flex16 board. The force required to
open the metal clips is small and the SLIM naturally springs
upwards as soon as the clips are open wide enough. If
removal is difficult, then you are probably trying to raise the
SLIM before the clips are open. Refer to Appendix F:
SLIM Insertion/Removal regarding the removal of the
ACM/Flex16 back cover and the removal of a SLIM.
The RS-232, RS-485/422 and 20mA Current Loop SLIMs are very
sensitive to static electricity. Make sure that before you remove
the SLIMs from the anti-static shipping bag, you wear an anti-
static wristband. When you remove the board from the anti-static
bag, handle it only by the edges and place it on the anti-static bag
or an anti-static mat.
