slide it partway into the power shelf slot on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis. See
Figure 19: Installing the Power
Shelf in the Chassis, on page 28
.
Step 3
Unscrew the ejector handles from the front face of the shelf, one on each side. See

Because of the weight of the power shelf, 40 lbs (18 kg), and the height that the power shelf is installed in
the chassis, you should be especially careful while lifting and installing the power shelf. To prevent injury,
keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. Avoid sudden twists or lateral moves.
