1
Put on an antistatic wrist strap that touches the skin. Make sure it is
properly grounded to the ESD jack on the front of the unit.
2
Carefully remove the card from its antistatic packaging.
3
Visually inspect the card for damage. Check the label and part number on
the card to verify the type of card being installed is the type needed for the
particular application.
4
Holding the card by its faceplate, carefully insert the card into a slot. Hold
the bottom ejector open and slowly slide the card onto the backplane pins.
5
Close the bottom ejector to firmly seat the card.
Caution:
To prevent damage to the backplane pins, do not force
cards onto the backplane pins when seating the cards. If you have
trouble seating a card, check that it is in the correct slot, pull the
card out, and try seating it again by pressing gently.

Slide the card lock down.

Tighten the top and bottom screws to seat the card in the backplane.
