7. Inspect the slot in the FPC card cage to verify that there are no missing or bent pins
on the midplane.
8. Inspect the FPC to verify that the connectors are not misaligned or damaged.
9. Orient the FPC vertically with the component side facing to the right. Be sure the FPC
is right-side up, with the components on the right of the FPC.
CAUTION: When the FPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector
handles, bus bars, or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.
10. Carefully align the connector edge of the FPC with the appropriate empty slot in the
chassis.
11. Lift the FPC into place and carefully align the bottom and top of the FPC with the
guides inside the card cage.
