4.If the front slot contains a factory-installed filler panel, remove the filler panel before installing the card.

Refer to the system’s documentation for instructions on how to remove the filler panel. Typically, you will need to loosen the filler panel’s captive screws before removing the panel from the system.

5.Remove the card from its antistatic envelope and place it on an ESD mat (if available) near the system.

If an ESD mat is not available, you can place the card on the antistatic envelope it was packaged in.

Before installing the card in the system, you will need to open the card’s ejection levers (see FIGURE 2-9).

6.With the card resting on the on the mat, press the levers outward to open the ejection levers.

The card may contain different types of ejection levers. For example, FIGURE 2-3shows two possible types of levers. The levers may also contain a locking mechanism that must be unlocked before you can open the levers. The ejection levers may be different than the ones on the rear transition card.

7.Lift up the card, and keeping it perfectly vertical, carefully slide the card into the selected slot.

Be sure to align the top and bottom of the card into the slot’s card guides

(FIGURE 2-10). Also, make sure the ejection levers remain open while you slide the card into the slot.

8.Push the card all the way into the slot until the two ejection levers move inward.

The tabs of the ejection levers (see FIGURE 2-5) should fit smoothly into the rectangular cutouts in the top and bottom of the slot.

9.Close the ejection levers by pushing the levers in toward the card.

The card may contain different types of ejection levers. For example, FIGURE 2-6shows two possible types of levers. The levers may also contain a locking mechanism that will lock when the levers have been properly closed. When installed correctly, the ejection lever tabs will fit smoothly into the rectangular cutouts of the slot (FIGURE 2-7).

10.Using a No. 0 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the captive screws inside the card’s top and bottom ejection levers.

The card may contain different types of ejection levers. For example, FIGURE 2-8shows two possible types of levers.

11.Remove the wrist strap from the chassis and from your wrist.

After installing the adapter, see “Connecting the Cables to the Rear Transition Card” on page 26 for instructions on connecting the cables to the rear card.
