NOTE
It should not be necessary to use excessive force or pressure
to engage the connectors.
If the board does not properly
connect with the backplane, remove the module and inspect all
connectors and guide slots for possible damage or obstructions.
5) Once the board is properly seated, secure it to the chassis by tightening
the two machine screws at the extreme top and bottom of the board.

Installing a 6U Front Panel Kit
(XVME-500 Optional)
XYCOM’s XVME-941 is an optional 6U front panel kit designed to replace the
existing 3U front panel on the XVME-500.
The 6U front panel facilitates the
secure installation of single-high modules in those chassis which are designed to
accommodate only double-high modules.
The following is a step-by-step procedure
for installing the 6U front panel on an XVME-500 module (See Figure 2-6 for a
graphic depiction of the installation procedure).
1) Turn power off.
2) Disconnect the module from the bus.
3) Remove the screw and plastic collar assemblies (labeled 6 & 7) from the
extreme top and bottom of the existing 3U front panel (11).
4) Install the screw assemblies in their corresponding locations on the 6U
front panel.
5) Slide the module identification plate (13) from the handle (9) on the 3U
front panel.
By removing the screw/nut found inside the handle, the
entire assemble will separate from the 3U front panel.
6) Remove the counter-sunk screw (8) to separate the 3U front panel from
the printed circuit board (12).
7) Line-up the plastic support brackets on the printed circuit board with the
corresponding holes in the 6U front panel (i.e., the holes at the top and
top-center of the panel).
Install the counter-sunk screw (8) in the hole
near the top-center of the 6U panel, securing it to the lower support
bracket on the printed circuit board.
8) Install the handle assembly (taken from the 3U panel) at the top of the
6U panel, using the screw and nut previously ‘attached inside the handle.
Secure the handle by sliding the I.D. plate into place.
