redirect air into the mainframe. The procedure for removing both guides is
identical. Refer to Figure 15 while performing the following steps:

front of the mainframe being careful not to damage the card guide or the
mainframe.
2. Gently pull the card guide forward until it pops out of place.
3. Remove the card guide.
To install the card guides refer to Figure 15 while completing the following
steps:
NOTE. The bottom card guides are replaced as a unit. These guides are not
intended to be disassembled.
1. Slide the card guide towards the rear of the mainframe and allow the front of
the card guide to snap into place.
2. Test the card guides in the mainframe and verify that they do not move.
3. Reinstall the mainframe cover.
