Installing Interface Cards

Installing an Interface Card to the Matrix

Note: Before installing an interface card, ensure that the card’s associated rear-connector panel has already been installed.

To install an interface card:

  1. Carefully place the card in the appropriate slot. Ensure that the card is aligned with the left and right precision guides (the top of the card aligns with the left of the slot).

  2. Push the card toward the backplane connectors.

  3. When the card has almost reached the backplane connectors, open the two ejector tabs, allowing them to clear the edges of the matrix. Gently insert the card further until it touches the backplane connector guides.

  4. Gently close both ejector tabs at the same time, which will propel the card into the backplane connectors.
