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. When the cassette is fully inserted, ensure that the lock bar is in the unlocked position (pulled out).
11. 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.
