hinder the IV pole removal.
6. Power off the machine and locate the screw under the lower IV pole holder (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
7. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, remove the screw securing the IV pole to the holder.
8. Slide the IV pole up and out of the lower and upper IV holder assemblies.
9. Set the IV pole aside.
Card Cage Preparation
10. Remove the two (2) screws securing the card cage into the cabinet (see Figure 3). Slide the card cage
out the front of the cabinet a few inches.
