Tip If the screw holes on the card cage are not aligned with the holes on the frame, place a flat-blade
screwdriver between the card cage and fan tray to raise the card cage. Insert the screws and tighten them,
and then remove the screwdriver from between the fan tray and card cage.
Tip If a component requires more than two screws for installation in the rack or cabinet, install the two
bottom screws first.
Warning
Never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies, fan trays, or the switching
modules. These handles are not designed to support the weight of the chassis. Using them to lift or
