Welcome to the I-Bus/Phoenix family of CompactPCI system enclosures. This
manual provides information necessary to set up and maintain the G8™ CPCI
Enclosure.
The G8™ CPCI Enclosure features an 8-slot CompactPCI (CPCI) passive
backplane. The chassis is positively pressurized, circulating filtered cooling air
through all slots of the card cage. The front-access drive bay module mounts
one 3.5 inch hard drive, one 3.5 inch floppy drive, and one CD-ROM drive. It
can be equipped with up to two current sharing redundant 350W AC or DC
power supply’s and is available in a rack mount configuration. Optional top
drive bay modules mount up to (8) 5 1/4" half height drives.

G8 CPCI Enclosure User’s Guide 2-1
This chapter discusses the removal and installation of the CPU board
module, add-in board modules, rear I/O modules (for systems with rear I/O),
backplane, fan tray, system fans, and air filter.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
CPU board
The CompactPCI CPU board module is mounted through the front of the enclo-
sure. It is held in place with two injector/ejector handles that stabilize the board
when they are engaged. It is also secured by two captive screws located on the
CPU board module’s front panel.
Removal and installation of the CPU board module
1. Turn off the main system power.
2. Place the chassis on an ESD safe workstation.
3. Loosen the two screws on the CPU board module’s front panel.
4. Completely retract the injector/ejector handles
Note: Some force may be required.
5. Slide the CPU board module out of the chassis.
6. Using the module guides, slide the new CPU board into the chassis,
making sure to align the two guide pins with their card guides inside the
chassis.
7. Engage the injector/ejector handles by pressing them towards each
other.
8. Secure the CPU board module by tightening the two captive screws.
Unless working on hot-swap components, always turn OFF all
power and disconnect the power cord before working on the
system.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) may damage memory chips,
programmed devices, and other electrical components. ESD
can be prevented by wearing a wrist strap attached to a
ground post on a static mat.

G8CPCI Enclosure User’s Guide2-2
Add-in boards
All add-in board modules are mounted through the front of the enclosure.
They are held in place with two injector/ejector handles that stabilize the
boards when they are engaged.
Removal and installation of add-in boards
1. Turn off the main system power.
2. Place the chassis on an ESD safe workstation.
3. Retract the injector/ejector handles of the add-in board module.
4. Slide the add-in board module out of the chassis.
5. Using the module guides, slide the new add-in board into the chassis,
making sure to align the two guide pins with their card guides inside
the chassis.
6. Engage the injector/ejector handles by pressing them towards each
other.
Note: If you do not plan on immediately replacing a removed add-
in board, you must close the space left open with a filler
panel in order to maintain EMI specifications.

For modules with captive front panel screws:
1. Turn off the main system power.
2. Place the chassis on an ESD safe workstation.
3. Loosen the two screws on the rear I/O module’s front panel as much
as possible.
Note: The screws are captive to the front panel and cannot be
completely removed.
4. Completely retract the injector/ejector handles
Note: This may require some force.
5. Slide the rear I/O module out of the chassis.
6. Using the module guides, slide the new rear I/O module into the chas-
sis, making sure to align the two guide pins with their card guides
inside the chassis.

Figure 2-1:G8™ Enclosure (Rear)

2-4 G8CPCI Enclosure User’s Guide
For modules without captive front panel screws:
1. Turn off the main system power.
2. Place the chassis on an ESD safe workstation.
3. Completely retract the injector/ejector handles of the rear I/O module
you are removing.
Note: This may require some force.
4. Slide the rear I/O module out of the chassis.
5. Using the module guides, slide the new rear I/O module into the chas-
sis, making sure to align the two guide pins with their card guides
inside the chassis.
6. Engage the injector/ejector handles by pressing them towards each
other.
Note: If you do not plan on immediately replacing a removed I/O mod-
ule, you must close the space left open with a filler panel in order
to maintain EMI specifications.
7. Turn on the main system power.
Backplane
The G8™ supports an 8-slot CPCI backplane, accessible by removing the top
of the chassis. See the back of this manual, or the backplane manual, for charts
providing connector information for the CompactPCI backplane.
1. Turn off the main system power.
2. Place the chassis on an ESD safe workstation.
3. Remove the CPU board, power supply module(s), drive module, all
add-in boards, and all rear I/O modules (if applicable).
4. Remove the rear plate.
Note: Depending on the configuration of the chassis, the rear
plate may cover the entire back of the chassis or it may
only cover a portion of it so that the rear I/O modules
may be accessed.
5. Remove the top of the chassis by loosening the 6 screws on each side
panel.
Note: Depending on the configuration of the chassis, the top may
be a 4 or 8 drive module. Removal will include disconnect
ing power and interface cables form all drives.

the fan tray, taking care not to lose any of the eight flat washers.
3. Swap out the old fan for a new one and place it between the two fin-
ger guards.
Note: The arrow indicating the fan air direction.
4. Secure the new fan and the finger guards to the fan tray using the four
screws and the eight flat washers removed in step 2.
Note: Two washers accompany one screw. One washer goes on top
of the fan, and one goes on the bottom of the fan, providing a
cushion between the fan and the finger guards.
