Seating fabrics from the transportation position

Prerequisites
Procedure steps
Passport 15000, 20000 Hardware Installation, Maintenance, and Upgrade
Seat a fabric card from the transportation position at the rear of a
Passport 20000 to initially install it.
CAUTION
Risk of service degradation or damage by heat
The tape covering the gap at the top of an upper fabric
card cage in the upper frame position prevents foreign
objects from entering the cavity behind the fabric during
transportation. The tape must be completely removed as
part of the fabric installation.
• You must be familiar with "Safety considerations and best practices"
(page 53).
• When fabrics are shipped in the transportation position, they do not have
protection covers installed on the fabric connectors. Do not remove the
fabric to look. The position protects the connectors from accidental
contacts.
1 Peel off all of the strip of tape that covers the air vent at the top outside of
the top fabric card cage of an upper shelf assembly. See the location of
the vent in the figure "Location of protective tape over fabric airflow
opening" (page 847).
2 While holding the fabric in position, unfasten the 2 slotted captive screws
of the retaining strap. See the figure "Straps retaining Passport 20000
fabrics in the transportation position" (page 848).
Be careful not to let the fabric slip out of the transportation notches at the
corners. The fabric can rest against the notches such that the upper
alignment bushings tilt away from shelf assembly, however, tapping the
fabric can cause it to fall off the shelf.
3 While using the right fabric handle to hold the fabric against the
transportation notches, unfasten the Phillips captive screw on the lever of
the fabric. The lever may pop out slightly.
4 Once the 4 bushings enter the alignment grooves, place a hand in each
fabric handle and gently push the fabric into the shelf such that
