CAUTION
Damage to Equipment
The backplane connector pins are easily bent. Install
backplane cables with extreme caution to ensure that
these pins are not damaged. Carefully line up the cable
and press it into place. Never force a cable into the slot.
If the cable gets stuck, remove it and try again. Damage
to the backplane connector pins can make installation of
CNI cables impossible.
