guides of the shelf. Make sure that the guiding module of shelf and blade are aligned
properly.

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

slides inwards and locks the handle.
If your shelf is powered, as soon as the blade is connected to the backplane power pins, the
blue LED is illuminated.
If you feel that you need an abnormal amount of force during blade insertion to insert the
blade into the slot, please extract the blade, then carefully inspect the blade and slot for
problems to prevent damage.
