Installation in A3100 chassis
Inserting and
removing The A3100 chassis (shown in Figure 2 , above ) provides redundant power, network ports (Ethernet
and dedicated PCoIP), and USB ports for all blades in a chassis.
The table below shows how to install and remove an A6106D blade from an A3100 chassis.
Step Action
1 Open the chassis front bezel by pressing in on the latch on the upper-right side of
the chassis.
NOTE: When pressing the latch to open the front bezel, hold the bezel with
one hand to ensure that the bezel does not fall.
2 From the top, pull the bezel toward you and lift up to remove it.
3 Hold the blade so the D-shaped handle in the front of the blade is upright and is
facing you. Align the blade with the top and bottom guides in the chassis and
slowly insert the blade.
Result: When fully seated, the blade is flush with the front edge of the bottom guide
bracket.
NOTE: There is slight resistance when blade connectors are inserted into
backplane connectors.
4 Replace the bezel after inserting your blades.
5 Optionally, press the power button on the front panel to power on the blade.
6 To remove a blade, pull gently on the D-shaped handle until the blade slides out of
the chassis.
NOTE: Support both ends of the blade when you remove it completely from
the chassis. Remember to replace the chassis front bezel.
