perpendicular to the RIO adapter. The handle cams have now been placed into the
correct position to assist you when seating the RIO adapter into its docking
connector.

docking connector has two large alignment pins located on each end. These
alignment pins will ensure perfect alignment of the RIO adapter to its docking
connector when seated.

docking connector. The plastic latch located beneath each handle will click when
the RIO adapter is fully seated. This click also indicates that the handle is locked

the chassis.
