Installation Procedure

The following procedure describes the installation of the blade. It assumes that your system is
powered on. If your system is not powered on, you can disregard the blue LED and thus skip the
respective step. In this case, it is purely a mechanical installation.

1. Ensure that the top and bottom ejector handles are in the outward position by

squeezing the lever and the latch together.

2. Insert the blade into the shelf by placing the top and bottom edges of the blade in

the card guides of the shelf. Ensure that the guiding module of shelf and blade are
aligned properly.

3. Apply equal and steady pressure to the blade to carefully slide the blade into the

shelf until you feel resistance. Continue to gently push the blade until the blade
connectors engage.

4. Squeeze the lever and the latch together and hook the lower and the upper handle

into the shelf rail recesses.

5. Fully insert the blade and lock it to the shelf by squeezing the lever and the latch

together, and turning the handles towards the faceplate.
If your shelf is powered on, as soon as the blade is connected to the backplane
power pins, the blue LED is illuminated.
