Removing the E6L Engine Core
MLN-192 cards are installed in the E6L engine core, which slides

its instructions.
Shut down your system, and disconnect any cables connected

to your E6L engine.
Place your E6L on a table or other flat surface that provides

enough room for the E6L engine core to be removed comfort-
ably. Make sure your surface is clear of any debris.
If your E6L engine is installed in a rack and there is enough
room inside the rack to access the inside of the core, instead

catches, and then proceed with installation.
