Connecting the Line Card Cables

This action engages the blind mating connector at the rear of the power supply with its companion backplane connector.

Caution To prevent damage to the backplane, do not use excessive speed or force when sliding the power supply into the bay.

Step 6 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the captive installation screw on the power supply faceplate clockwise until it is tight, thus securing the power supply in the bay.
