Card Installation and Replacement
This section describes the installation of rear connector panels and cards in the Kaleido-X
frame.
Installing a Rear Connector Panel
To install a rear connector panel
1 Remove the blank rear panel or the rear panel from the previously-installed card, using
a screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws.
2 Position the new rear panel in the vacant location so its connectors are aligned with the
corresponding plugs, and push it gently into place so the connectors mate.
3 Secure the panel in place, using a screwdriver to tighten the two captive screws.
Removing a Card
To remove a card
1 Open the front door of the frame and locate the card to be removed.
2 Remove the card retaining bar by unscrewing the captive screw on the right side, and
pulling it out of the slot at the left side.
3 Pull the ends of the two extractor handles out and away from the center of the card,
levering it out of its connector.
4 Grasp the extractor handles, and pull the card gently straight out of the slot.
Installing a Card
To install a card
1 Open the front door of the frame and locate an empty slot appropriate for the card
type.
2 Remove the card retaining bar by unscrewing the captive screw on the right side, and
pulling it out of the slot at the left side.
3 Orient the card so that the labelled and color-coded extractor handle is at the top and
the connectors are toward the frame.
4 Slide the card all the way into the slot until it touches the connectors.
5 Push gently on the extractor handles until the connectors mate and the card is
completely into the slot.
6 Install the card retaining bar by slipping it into the slot on the left side of the frame and
fastening the captive screw on the right side.
Note: The cards are mechanically configured so that it is not possible to
install a card in the wrong slot.
