Installing the DSP Card
Installing a DSP card in E6L consists of the following steps:
• Removing the E6L engine core
• Installing the card
• Connecting the HDX TDM cable between HDX cards
• Replacing hardware
• Confirming Installation
Removing the E6L Engine Core
HDX cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which slides out
of the E6L chassis.
To remove the E6L engine core:
1
Put on your anti-static wrist band and configure according to
its instructions.
2
Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected
to your E6L engine.
3
Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides
enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfort-
ably. Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.
4
On the back of the E6L, loosen the four thumbscrews that se-
cure the core to the engine chassis.
5
Simultaneously pull the two bottom thumbscrews outward so
the latches they are attached to are fully extended, as shown in
Figure 2.
