SUMMARY STEPS

Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection

sockets: on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis there is one ESD connection socket right above the fan

controllers. On the rear (MSC) side of the chassis there are two ESD connection sockets right above the

cable management tray in the center of the chassis (left and right). You can also connect the ESD-preventive

wrist strap leash to any bare metal surface on the chassis.

Align the PM slot cover with the empty PM slot in the power shelf.

Insert the two tabs on the right side of the PM slot cover into the two holes on the right side of the PM

slot. See Figure 34: Installing PM Slot Cover, on page 49.

Push the left side of the PM slot cover gently until it clicks into place. See Figure 34: Installing PM Slot
