Installing The Blade
1. If you are installing a new blade, remove the plastic cover from the I/O connector(s) and save for future use.
2. Orient the blade so that the handle is on the left side of the blade.
3. If you are installing a half-height blade in bays 11 or 12, rotate the LCD module to the horizontal storage position to
prevent accidental damage to the LCD screen.
4. If you are installing a half-height blade in one of the eight upper bays, align the guide rail on the upper edge of the
blade so that the rail fits between the plastic guides on the enclosure.
If you are installing a half-height blade in one of the eight lower bays, align the edge of the blade with the guide rail
on the floor of the M1000e enclosure.
5. Slide the blade into the enclosure until the handle engages and locks the blade in place.
