Installing a MADI-192 MADI Card

Installing a MADI-192 MADI Option card in E6L consists of the 
following steps:

• Removing the E6L engine core

• Installing the card

• Replacing hardware

• Confirming Installation

Removing the E6L Engine Core

E6L Option cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which 
slides out of the E6L chassis. 

To remove the E6L engine core:

1

Put on your anti-static wrist band and configure according to 
its instructions.

2

Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected 
to your E6L engine.

3

Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides 
enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfort-
ably. Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.

4

On the back of the E6L, loosen the four thumbscrews that se-
cure the core to the engine chassis.

5

Simultaneously pull the two bottom thumbscrews outward so 
the latches they are attached to are fully extended, as shown in 
Figure 2.

6

Using the handle, slowly slide the core partially out, locate the 
interior catch on the right side of the tray, and press it to release 
the core from the chassis.
