Step 2

Remove the card from its antistatic packaging.

Step 3 Place one hand under the card to support and guide it into the correct slot. Slide the card halfway into

the slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.

Note Alignment grooves exist on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card in the card cage,

make sure that you align both edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.

Step 4 Orient the RP according to the up arrow on the faceplate. If the card does not slide easily into the slot,

the orientation may be wrong or the slot is not for an RP. Reorient the RP, if necessary.
