Install a Fabric Card
Procedure
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 card into the guide slot at the bottom of the fabric card slot,
and make sure that the guide rails on the top of the fabric card align with the track on the top of the slot.
