screwdriver to affix the line card’s face plate to the chassis.
Extended Face Plate
– From the inside of the chassis, place the face plate on top of the motherboard. Align
the extended face plate so that the four holes around the front of the face plate align with the four holes around
the expansion slot, and the four notches of the extended part are directly over the four stand-offs on the
motherboard (see
). You may need to gently push the extended face plate down while lining up the
first of the face plate screws. Use the screws provided and the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to affix the line
card’s face plate to the chassis.
