Carefully guide the Slide-In Card along the card guides, until the Slide-In Card flat
connector and internal backplane meet. Carefully seat the connector into the
backplane slot. Firmly push the card into the slot until the Slide-In Card face plate
is flat against the back of the hub frame. Tighten the thumbscrews of the installed
Slide-In Card into the threaded holes on the hub unit.
