More Information

Always install the first card set in the system slot (the bottom slot of the chassis). The controller card in this slot serves as the system controller for the unit. The system controller card controls communication on the compact PCI (cPCI) backplane, and parks the PCI bus when the bus is idle.

Note: Cards need not be continuously installed from the bottom up, but a card set MUST be present in the lowest slot. Hot-swapping the system controller card disables communication on the cPCI backplane during the time it is removed, but otherwise does not impair operation. Promptly replace the card.
