Using the handle, slowly slide the core partially out, locate the
interior catch on the right side of the tray, and press it to release
the core from the chassis.

Slowly slide the core out of the E6L chassis completely, and
place it on your work surface.
Installing the Card
The E6L engine core has four PCIe slots for DSP cards, and are
numbered sequentially from top to bottom 1–4 as you face the
open side of the engine core. Install your DSP expansion card in
the open PCIe slot below the currently installed card(s). You must
first remove the retaining bracket before installing the card.
To remove the DSP card retaining bracket and install the card:
1
Looking inside the core from the right side, locate the DSP as-
sembly retaining bracket.
2
Locate the thumbscrew that secures the bracket to the bottom
of the unit and loosen it completely.
3
Locate the two Phillips head screws on the top of the bracket,
remove them, carefully remove the bracket, and set them all
aside.
4
Locate the open PCIe slot below the topmost currently in-
stalled DSP card, and remove the blank faceplate by unscrew-
ing the corresponding screw. Set the screw aside to secure the
HDX card after it is installed. The faceplate can be discarded.

The core will not slide out of the E6L chassis until the latches
are fully extended and the catch has been released. If you ex-
perience any resistance, make sure the latches are fully ex-
tended before pulling.
Make sure all HDX-192 cards have a Fan assembly. For
more information, see the HDX-192 Cooling Kit Guide in-
cluded with the Cooling Kit (and available for download
