Step One: Getting the UCx1000 ready for card installation

1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals.
2. Disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and disconnect the peripherals.
3. If installed, remove the front bezel.
4. Remove the system cover.

Removing the front bezel

1. Unlock the bezel.
2. Lift the release latch next to the lock.
3. Rotate the left end of the bezel away from the front panel.
4. Unhook the right end of the bezel and pull the bezel away from the system.

Removing the system cover

1. On top of the system, locate the latch release lock and rotate the lock to the unlocked position.
2. Lift the latch and slide the cover back. The system cover slides back and the tabs on the system cover disengages from the slots on the chassis.
3. Hold the cover on both sides and lift the cover away from the system.

Step Two: Preparing the Interface (expansion) card

Unpack the interface card and you will see a full height bracket already attached to the card.
The picture below shows a half height bracket on the left and the full height bracket attached to the interface card on the right.

The following steps detail how to replace the full height bracket with a half height bracket.

1. Remove the two screws that connect the top and bottom boards with a philips screwdriver
   
2. Carefully lift up the top board to expose the bottom board
   
3. Remove the two screws on the bottom board that holds the bracket
   
4. Remove the full height bracket and replace it with the half height bracket
   
5. Insert and tighten the two screws that hold the bracket in place
   
6. Carefully place the top board back onto the bottom board
   
7. Insert and tighten the two screws that hold the two boards together
   

Step Three: Installing the Interface (expansion) card

Installing Interface card on the system board

1. Open the expansion card retention latch.
2. If you are installing a new card, remove the filler bracket.
   Keep this bracket in case you need to remove the expansion card. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion-card slots to maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
3. Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card’s edge connector aligns with the expansion card connector.
4. Insert the card’s edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
5. Close the expansion card retention latch by pushing the latch down until the latch snaps into place.

Removing and Installing the expansion card riser (optional)

1. To remove, hold the touch points, lift the expansion-card riser from the riser connector on the system board.
2. To install, align the expansion-card riser with the PCIe connector on the system board and the riser guides on the system board and chassis. Then lower the expansion-card riser into place until the expansion-card riser is fully seated in the connector.

Installing Interface card on the expansion card riser

1. Remove the expansion-card riser.
2. Press the expansion-card retention latch and rotate the latch clockwise.
3. Holding the card by its edges, position the card so that the card’s edge connector aligns with the expansion card connector.
4. Insert the card’s edge connector firmly into the expansion card connector until the card is fully seated.
5. Close the expansion-card retention latch.
6. Install the expansion-card riser.

Step Three: Closing the System

1. Align the slots of the system cover with the tabs on the chassis.
2. Press the cover release latch, and push the cover toward the front of the chassis until the latch locks into place.
3. Turn the cover latch release lock clockwise to the locked position.
4. Install the bezel (if applicable).

Once the UCx server is powered up, the new Interface Card will be automatically detected. See PSTN Cards in the Administration Guide for details.
