To replace a PCI card, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Insert the card into the appropriate slot. See Figure 4-26 on page 78.
Step 2. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis to ~45 degrees CCW to allow closing of the manual
retention latch (MRL).
Step 3. Push down on the MRL until it stops against the chassis wall.
Step 4. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis another 45 degrees CCW to lock the PCI/PCI-X card
