Figure 54: Seating the cover on the chassis

15.

While holding the cover in place, install the screws at the front of the module
(two on the top and two on the bottom) to secure the cover to the chassis.

16.

Install the screws near the front of the module.

17.

Slide the rear panel on the chassis and install the rear panel screws.

18.

Install the top and bottom rear screws.

19.

Check and tighten all screws.

20.

Place the master module adjacent to the slave module so that the two guide
pins from the slave module line up with the guide pin holes in the master
module.
