Install a Fabric Module
Step 1
Unscrew the two captive screws (one on each ejector handle) and rotate the ejector handles at least 30 degrees. Ensure
that the locking posts on the top and bottom of the chassis rotate into the module so that the module can slide fully into
the slot.
Step 2 Place one hand on the front of the module and turn the module 90 degrees so that the electrical connectors are on the
bottom.
Step 3 Align the guide bar on the bottom of the fabric module into the guide slot at the bottom of the fabric module slot, and
make sure that the guide rails on the top of the fabric module align with the track on the top of the slot.
Note The lower guide rail extends to the back of the chassis. The upper guide rail does not connect until the
module is halfway into the chassis.
