Replacing a Double-Wide Blind-Swap Adapter
Before installing a replacement adapter in a cassette that uses two adapter positions, referred to as a
double-wide cassette
, perform the following checks:
v
Check that the screws for the cassette are in place:
– Across the male dovetail side
– Holding the extension bracket
– In the top center holding the cover
– In the end of the top track
v
Check to ensure that the:
– Rail and the metal bezel are aligned
– Rail is not caught on the top of the bezel
– Tailstock is aligned with the bezel
v
Check the handle assembly to ensure that the:
– Pivot block is not broken
– Handle is set to the blue color
– Handle gray bar is not broken
v
Check that all the EMC brackets are intact and in place.
v
Check that the light pipes are intact and free from damage.
v
Check the bezel hole to ensure that the:
– Handle is activated
– Hole in the tailstock aligns with the hole in the bezel
v
Check the cover assembly to ensure that the cover end is held by the rear arm of the bezel assembly.
To replace the adapter, use the following procedure:
1. Press the center of the handle of the PCI card cassette to release the latch, then lower the handle
completely.
2. When the handle is completely lowered, push the gray locking cross bar.
3. Hold the assembly straight on with the PCI slots.
4. Place the double-wide blind-swap cassette assembly with the lower leading corner between installed
single-wide cassettes.
5. Slide the cassette partially into the guide.
6. Ensure the dovetail on the top track aligns with its mating component(s) on both sides. After the
dovetails are engaged, push the cassette fully into the drawer. You will feel some resistance when the
cassette is fully inserted. When the cassette is fully inserted, it aligns with the other installed
cassettes.
7. If the cassette is fully inserted, press the button on the handle to unlock the gray crossbar.
8. Raise the handle with one hand and at the same time, use your other hand to press down on the
metal tab (adapter tailstock tab just below the handle mechanism) until the handle latches. You
should hear a click as you lift the handle all the way up.
Note:
To ensure that the PCI adapter is completely seated, you may have to release the handle and
repeat this process while pressing on the tailstock tab.
When you are sure the adapter is completely seated, be sure that the handle is latched.
