2. Verify the screw holes on the Duet card are aligned with the

mounting posts on the logic board, and confirm the connectors
on the Duet and the logic board are engaged

(Figure 24).

3. Gently press straight down on the Duet’s heat sink as shown

(Figure 25) until the connectors snap together. Verify the con-
nectors are completely coupled by gently pulling up on the edges
of the Duet card; the board should remain firmly in place.

4. Using the three screws provided in the Duet package, secure the

Duet card snugly to the logic board

; do not overtighten the

screws (Figure 26).

5. Replace the plastic shroud on top of the Duet card (Figure 27).

Return Server to Rack

front thumbscrews to secure it in place.

2. Reconnect the power cord and other cables to the server.

Turn On Server
