Before closing the housing the transportation lock must be readjusted. Therefore first insert the plate, then
turn in the screws but do not tighten them. Push the plate as far towards the cards as possible. Just then
tighten the screws.
If you have removed the top cover and elastic hold-down of the OmniBus A18 in order to
add boards, be sure to replace both parts before powering up again!
