Install the Mandatory Front Slot Cards
Figure 18. Installation and Removal of the SMC and NPC Cards
3.
Install blank slot covers. Depending on the number of NPCs that are installed, you may have empty
card slots. For example, if you initially ordered three NPCs, you will have three empty slots. Each
empty slot must be covered with the provided blank slot covers to ensure proper airflow and to
prevent debris from entering the chassis. You will only receive the number of blank slot covers
needed based on the number of NPCs ordered.
4.
Connect the network cables and the NPC is ready.
