Front OG-3GDA Series Card Installation
1. Open the openGear frame door as follows:
A. Gently pull the side door tabs towards the center of the door, releasing the
door from the frame.
B. Using both hands, pull the door towards you. The door extender arms
prevent the door from falling.
2. Locate the Rear Card you installed as described above. The interior slot
number is dependent on the slot combinations into which you installed the
Rear Card. This allows adequate spacing to avoid damaging the card, the
cards installed in the neighboring slots, or both.
3. Hold the card by the edges and carefully align the card edges with the rails
inside the frame. The slots are numbered starting from the left-most slot
when facing the frame front.
IMPORTANT: OG-3GDA Series cards are installed into the right (even numbered) slot of the
pair in order to connect with the rear panel.
4. Fully insert the card into the frame until the card is properly seated in the
Rear Card. There are two stages to inserting the card:
A. After you feel the card's first click, its position in the frame will resemble the
photograph below in Figure 11.
B. Next, press against the white plastic tab again until you feel the second
click. The card's position will resemble the photograph below in Figure 12 .
NOTE: Some cards require more pressure than others to be fully inserted. Make sure that
the plastic tab at the bottom of the front edge of the card is completely upright. If
it is tilting forward, the card is not yet fully inserted.
Figure 11. The card on the left is already fully inserted. The card on the right
is not yet fully inserted, as indicated by the white plastic tab tilting
forward.
