details about how to open the cabinet and access the various areas

For each card you are installing into the system, follow these steps:
Step 1. Exit all running programs and shut down the system by using this
command:
/etc/shutdown -h
Step 2. Wait until the system responds with "OK to press reset" or "Halted, you
may now cycle power," and then power off the system.
Step 3. Turn off the power to the HP 9000 system.
Step 4. Determine whether you will install the card in the Core I/O card or the
HSC Expansion I/O card. The Core I/O card provides one card slot. The
HSC Expansion I/O card provides four card slots. If the system does not
have an HSC Expansion I/O card, install the HP Praesidium SpeedCard
in the Core I/O card.
Step 5. Remove the Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O card from the HP 9000.
Step 6. Simultaneously pull out the extractor levers on both ends of the Core I/O
or HSC Expansion I/O card. Carefully pull the card out of its system slot.
Allow the card to follow the runners as you pull out the card, to avoid
bending it.
Step 7. If you are installing the HP Praesidium SpeedCard in the Core I/O card,
install the Accelerator Card in the available HSC slot. If you are
installing the Accelerator Card in the HSC Expansion I/O card, install
the Accelerator Card in one of the four available slots. Use a screwdriver
to unscrew the two screws on the front of the slot until they pop out.
Step 8. Attach the grounding strap to your wrist or ankle.
Step 9. Remove the HP Praesidium SpeedCard from its antistatic plastic bag.
Step 10. Position the card over the slot so that the hinges point up.
Step 11. Place the hinges on the front end of the card into the hinge slots on the
Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O slot. If you are installing the card into
the Expansion I/O slot, align the standoffs to the holes on the Expansion
I/O slot. The figure below shows the card's hinges, standoffs, and HSC
