Step 8 Use eight M6 x 10 mm screws to attach the bottom-support rails to the chassis (use a total of 16 screws for both bottom
support rails). See previous image.
Step 9 If you removed any fabric modules before moving the chassis, replace each one in the chassis as follows:
a. Holding the front of the fabric module (the side with the LEDs), turn the module so that the front side is vertical.
The top of the module has an alignment bracket running from the rear to the front. The electrical
connectors will be at the bottom.
Note
b. Align the rear of the fabric module to an open fabric slot and insert the bracket on top of the module into the track
at the top of the slot.
If there are only three fabric modules to install, install them in fabric slots 1, 3, and 5, and be sure that
there are blank filler plates installed in the open slots.
Note
c. Slide the module part way into the slot.
d. Press the ejector button on the front of the module, to release the levers from the front of the module.
