Remove the cover of the work drawer by either removing the 10 screws that attach it or by sliding it out. Remove the screw that fixes the card hold-down clamp, and remove the clamp.

Slowly slide the card in and carefully press it into the backplane socket. Secure it by screwing it into the top mounting bar. (See Fig. 2-2.) Connect the card wiring. Add any additional cards or take out cards you need to service. Reattach the hold-down clamp. When you have finished, reattach the cover.
