9. Visually check to ensure that the cassette is parallel with the cassettes to the left or right. If the
cassette is not parallel with the neighboring cassettes, the cassette dovetail rails might not be
correctly engaged. If the cassette is not correctly aligned, you might need to pull it out so you can see
the ends of the dovetail rails. If so, reinsert the cassette, ensuring that the dovetail rails engage on
both sides of the cassette.
Note: If there are no other cassettes installed, it is not necessary to check the alignment of the
dovetail rails.
10. Depress the handle release latch. Lift the handle up until the handle-release lever clicks when it locks
into position.
Note: To aid you in seating the PCI adapter connector, it may be necessary to press down on the
adapter tailstock tab. The PCI adapter is completely installed into the PCI adapter slot when
the handle is in the fully raised position and the tailstock is seated into the slots located on the
system board.
Attention: Do not force the handle into the raised position.
Removing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter: To remove a non-hot-pluggable adapter, do the
following:
1. Turn off power and remove the power from the system as described in "Powering Off and Powering On
the System" on page 825.
2. Determine the slot from which you are removing the adapter.
3. Refer to "Removing a PCI Adapter Cassette" on page 898. When you have completed the PCI adapter
cassette removal procedure, return here.
4. If you are installing another adapter in this slot, follow the instructions given in "Replacing a
Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter". If you are not installing another adapter in this slot, install a blank
PCI adapter cassette into the slot. Refer to "Replacing a PCI Adapter Cassette" on page 901.
5. Connect power to the system and turn the power on.
6. Go to "MAP 0410: Repair Checkout" in the RS/6000 and Eserver Diagnostic Information for Multiple
Bus Systems.
Replacing a Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter: Replace the adapter using the following procedure:
Note: Because the adapter you are installing is not hot-pluggable, shut down the system and remove
power before performing this procedure.
1. If you have just removed an adapter and you are replacing it in the system, use the procedures in "PCI
Adapter or Blank Filler Removal from a Snap-Assembly-Type Cassette" on page 918 to install the
replacement adapter into the PCI adapter cassette.
2. Go to "Replacing a PCI Adapter Cassette" on page 901 to replace the appropriate cassette in the PCI
slot, then return here.
3. Connect power to the system.
4. Go to "MAP 0410: Repair Checkout" in the RS/6000 and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for
Multiple Bus Systems. Refer to "Starting the System Without an HMC Attached" in your installation or
service guides.
5. Set the color slide to blue.
6. Ensure that the adapter is configured when the system completes the boot process.
