antistatic mat.) (See
FIGURE 13-6 and TABLE 13-2)
a. Move the PCI card in the direction of the arrow, and mount it on the PCI cassette
by inserting the part projecting out at the bottom of the bracket of the PCI card
into the hole at the bottom of the front panel of the PCI cassette and inserting the
pin of the PCI cassette into the notched part at the top of the bracket of the PCI
card. (See
FIGURE 13-7)

touches the part projecting from the PCI cassette.
Note – When affixing the PCI card after aligning its position with the card-positioning tab,
do so while pulling the lever about 2 cm from the frame.
c. Align the PCI card with the center part of the lower latch of the cassette. Then,
while pressing the PCI card against the center part of each of the upper latches of
the cassette, tighten the fixing screws in the sequence shown in
FIGURE 13-8 to fix
the card in position.
Note – To ensure that the PCI card is properly mounted, you need to confirm that the PCI
card base is properly centered at the latches and securely fastened in position.
Caution – If the card is short, move the screw at the bottom of the cassette as required. In
such cases, place the latch as close as possible to the far end of the card. See
FIGURE 13-9.
To shift the location of the bottom screw for the PCI card, first secure the card at the lower
latch (part a in
FIGURE 13-8). Then, tighten the fixing screws in the sequence of 1-2 shown in
FIGURE 13-8 to fix the card in position.
