Insert a Fabric Interconnect F1-4 DDR Fabric Board

1. Orient the Fabric Board so that the InfiniBand server ports are facing you and the sheet metal side is facing down.

   Make sure that the Fabric Board handles are in the open position, not flat against the faceplate.

2. Align the Fabric Board with the empty slot, and gently slide it into the chassis, making sure to support the Fabric Board from underneath (the sheet metal side). See Inserting the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 Fabric Board.

   When the Fabric Board is almost completely inserted, you will feel some resistance when the connector at the rear of the Fabric Board contacts its socket on the inside of the chassis.

3. When you feel the Fabric Board connector and socket meet, grasp the Fabric Board handles and simultaneously press them inward (1). See Securing the Fabric Interconnect F1-4's Fabric Board.

   Caution  -  Make sure to pivot the Fabric Board handles in a horizontal plane. Do not apply upward or downward pressure on the Fabric Board's handles when you are installing the Fabric Board. You need to pivot the Fabric Board handles inward until they make contact with the threaded standoff on the Fabric Board's faceplate.
