The following procedure assumes that the 
system is powered. If it is unpowered, you 
can disregard the blue LED and skip its 
respective step.

1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector han-

dles are in the outward position by squeezing 
the lever and the latch together.

2. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing the 

top and bottom edges of the blade in the 
card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the guid-
ing module of the shelf and blade are aligned 
properly.

3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade 

to carefully slide the blade into the shelf until 
you feel resistance. Continue to gently push 
the blade until the blade connectors engage.

4. Squeeze the lever and the latch together and 

hook the lower and the upper handle into the 
shelf rail recesses.

5. Fully insert the blade and lock it to the shelf 

by squeezing the lever and the latch together 
and turning the handles towards the face 
plate. 
If your shelf is powered, as soon as the blade 
is connected to the backplane power pins, 
the blue LED is illuminated. 
When the blade is completely installed, the 
blue LED starts to blink. This indicates that 
the blade announces its presence to the shelf

Note: If an RTM is connected to the front blade, 

make sure that the handles of both the 
RTM and the front blade are closed in 
order to power up the blade’s payload.

6. Wait until the blue LED is switched off, then 

tighten the face plate screws which secure 
the blade to the shelf.
The switched off blue LED indicates that the 
blade’s payload has been powered up and 
that the blade is active.

7. If necessary, connect cables to the face plate.
