The tops of all cards and filler brackets are flush with the alignment bar.
• The notch in the top of the card or filler bracket fits around the alignment guide.

NOTICE:
Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent
the computer cover from closing properly or cause damage to the equipment.

See the documentation that came with the card for information about the card’s cable
connections.
NOTICE:
To connect a network cable, first plug the cable into the network device and then plug it into
