Installing a PCI adapter cassette

You can install a PCI adapter cassette in a 5802 or 5877 expansion unit.

  1. Ensure that the lower cassette handle (C) is pressed up toward the retainer clip as shown in Figure 1. This places the adapter in the correct position to be docked in the system.
  2. Slide the cassette into the cassette slot.
  3. When the cassette is fully inserted into the system, firmly press downward on the lower cassette handle (C) to lock the adapter in its connector.
