Finishing Touches

After your system is working properly, replace any empty slots with slot
covers, and install the card hold down retainers that shipped with your
expansion system.

The P13RR-TEL includes a PCI card
hold down bar and set of plastic
retainers to provide an extra method
of securing the PCI cards in the
chassis. This is especially useful
when transporting a fully-loaded
expansion chassis.

The PCI cards in your chassis can easily be held firmly in place in a
couple of simple steps.

1. Select either the

long or

short Retainer, depending on

the height of your PCI card.

2. Squeeze the open end of the Retainer and insert it, from the

bottom of the bar, into an open slot directly above your PCI
card. When the round tips on the end of the Retainer are inline
with the round holes on the bar, release the Retainer.

3. Next, squeeze the open end of the Bracket

and insert it

(from the top) into the bar so that the round holes on the
Bracket align with the round tips inside the bar. When aligned,
release the Bracket. The Bracket should move freely.

4. Take the Screw

and insert it

through the slot in the edge
of the bar so that it will align
with the threaded opening in
the closed end of the Bracket

and start to thread it by

turning it clockwise.

5. You

will

notice

that

the threading action will start to adjust the

closed end of the Retainer toward the PCI card directly below.
Continue to tighten the Screw until it fits snuggly onto the top of
the PCI card.
