Caution

 

To prevent damage to the device caused by ESD or contamination, handle

the device using the edges or the metal bracket.

1. Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the modules.

The AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you

install the modules.

2. Power off the chassis.
3. Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to

installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4. Remove the black plastic connectors from all the captive screws on the module front

panel.

5. Identify a supported slot in the chassis. The following figure shows the symbols that

indicate the slot types.
