Subject: Safely Removing a Jammed IEEE 1394 Scanner Interface Card
This bulletin provides instructions on how to safely remove the IEEE 1394 scanner interface card in cases where
is necessary to remove it or re-insert it and this simple operation becomes unexpectedly difficult because the card
gets jammed in the slot.
Description:
The cards have a plastic isolation sheet attached at the bottom that prevent short-circuiting components as
illustrated in this figure:
Normally, the card slides in and out of the scanner option slot without difficulty, but if the center of this plastic
sheet gets arched, it may hit the bottom edge of the option slot metal housing preventing the card from coming
out. See figure below:
