Long Adapter Removal
To remove a long adapter, do the following:
1. Each adapter arm has a release tab that allows the arm to be moved away from the adapter in the
cassette assembly. Use your fingernail to lift the tab, to allow the arm to be moved away from the
adapter. Lift the release tab on the long adapter arm, and slide it off the cassette linkage assembly.

2. Remove the adapter from the cassette linkage assembly by rotating the bottom of the tailstock out, as
shown in the following illustration. Store the adapter in a safe place.

Note: If you are going to install a short adapter card, and your cassette linkage has the middle-spacer
arm installed, remove the middle-spacer arm and install the short adapter arm, refer to 1a on
page 75. The middle-spacer arm and long adapter arm can be stored on the cassette linkage.
See the illustration on page 76.

filler in the cassette, go to “Replacing an Adapter in a PCI Adapter Cassette” on page 79.
