B. Care and Cleaning of the Compression Connector
TheOCTANE workstation usescompressionconnectors to connectseveralmodulesand
boards to the frontplane.
A single compression connector is used in the OCTANE workstation:
• on the back of the PCI module
• on each XIO board on the XIO module
Two compression connectors are used on the system module.
The compression connector has 96 pads that enable signals to pass between the system
(via the frontplane) and the system module, PCI module, or XIO board.
The compression connector has two halves: One half is located on the frontplane of the
chassis; the other, on the system module, PCI module, or XIO board. Each pad on a
frontplane connector is a flat gold-plated surface. Each pad on the system module, PCI
module, or XIO board is composed of hundreds of tiny bristles (dendrites). When a
bristled pad is pressed into a gold-plated pad, a connection is created for one signal.
Figure B-1 Identifying the Bristled Pad of the Compression Connector
The bristled padsmay attractand hold dust,lint, grease, powder, anddirt. The presence
ofthesesubstances clogs or damages the bristlesandpreventsthem frommakingproper
contact with the gold-plated pads on the system’s frontplane. It is important to prevent
this.
