Long Adapter Removal
To remove a long adapter, do the following:
1. Each adapter arm has a release tab that allows the arm to be moved away from the adapter in the
cassette assembly. Use your fingernail to lift the tab, to allow the arm to be moved away from the
adapter. Lift the release tab on the long adapter arm, and slide it off the cassette linkage assembly.
2. Remove the adapter from the cassette linkage assembly by rotating the bottom of the tailstock out, as
shown in the following illustration. Store the adapter in a safe place.
3. The removal procedure for the PCI adapter cassette assembly is complete. To install a new adapter or
blank filler in the cassette, go to "Installing a New Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter" on page 196.
Note: If you are going to install a short adapter card, and your cassette linkage has the middle-spacer
arm installed, remove the middle-spacer arm and install the short adapter arm, refer to page 1a
on page 208. The middle-spacer arm and long adapter arm can be stored on the cassette
linkage. See the illustration on page 209. To install a short adapter into a cassette see
"Replacing an Adapter in a PCI Adapter Cassette" on page 212.
