Procedure
1. If installing an unpopulated spare blade, acclimatize the blade to the computer room before removing it from
the shipping case. Then reinstall the daughter cards, voltage modules, DIMMs, etc.
2. If a filler blade assembly is in the empty slot, remove the filler blade assembly.
3. Grasp the front of the blade with one hand and the bottom of the blade near the center with the other hand.
4. Align the left and right guide rails on the blade with the guide slots in the sides of the chassis.
