6) Fix the PCB holder plate to the CPU PC board with the SM-3x8 screw so that the PCB holder plate

aligns with the PCB support plate.

7) Connect the CN51 on the PCMCIA PC board to the CN9 on the CPU PC board.
8) Fix the PCMCIA PC board with the three SM-3x8 screws on the CPU PC board and the PCB holder

plate.

9) Return the three harnesses to CN2, CN5, CN7 on the CPU PC board.
10) Attach the ferrite core to any cable attached to a PCMCIA PC board (Example LAN card) that may

be inserted into the card slot. Place the ferrite core as close to the PCMCIA card as possible.

11) Reassemble the left side cover in the reverse order removal.
