Installing an adapter in the 9040-MR9 system

To install an adapter in the system, complete the steps in this procedure.

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. If necessary, remove the adapter from the antistatic package.
   Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold connectors on the adapter.
3. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, antistatic surface.
   Attention: A pin on the tailstock of the adapter resembles a removable screw. Do not remove this pin. It is required for correct alignment and seating.
4. Remove the cassette from the slot:
   1. Squeeze the latch lever (A) and press down on the latch (B) in the direction shown.
      This action pivots the cassette forward and releases the cassette from the slot.
   2. Pull out the cassette from its slot.

      

5. Remove the tailstock filler from the cassette.
   1. Open the tailstock clamp (A) by rotating the clamp in the direction that is shown.
   2. Press and slide the release bar (B) in the direction that is shown to open the cassette.
   3. Grasp the tailstock filler and pull the filler away from the cassette in the direction that is shown.

      

      Note: Your cassette might not have the two adapter retainers (C) and strips.
   4. Save the tailstock filler for a future use.
      You must have a tailstock filler in an empty cassette in a system to ensure proper airflow.
6. Choose from the following options:
   • To install an adapter into a cassette that has adapter retainers and strips, continue with step 7.
   • To install an adapter into a cassette that doesn't have adapter retainers and strips, continue with step 8.
7. If your cassette has two adapter retainers with strips, complete the following steps to install or replace an adapter into the cassette:
   1. If the adapter retainers (A) haven't already been removed, remove the adapter retainers (A) by putting them in the open position and moving them all the way off the strips.
   2. Press and slide the release bar (B) to open the cassette.
   3. Place an ESD safety sheet (C) over the strips.
      Note: You can use the ESD package that the new adapter was in. If necessary, cut it to size.

      

   4. Insert the adapter into the cassette.
   5. Press and slide the release bar (A) to close the cassette.
   6. Close the tailstock clamp (B) by rotating the clamp in the direction that is shown.
   7. Pull the ESD safety film (C) out.

      

   8. With the adapter retainers (D) in the open position, slide the retainers onto the strips.
   9. Position the adapter retainers (D) so that they support the adapter and put them in the locked position by rotating them in the direction that is shown.
      Note: Ensure that the adapter is secured in the adapter retainer channel.

      

8. If your cassette does not have the two adapter retainers and strips, complete the following steps to install or replace an adapter into the cassette:
   1. Press and slide the release bar (A) to open the cassette.
   2. Insert the adapter into the cassette.
   3. Press and slide the release bar (A) to close the cassette.
   4. Close the tailstock clamp (B) by rotating the clamp in the direction that is shown.

      

9. Slide the cassette into the slot by completing the following steps:
   Attention:

   Ensure proper alignment when you insert an adapter cassette into the system.

   1. Align the cassette on the cassette rail in the cassette slot.
   2. Slide the cassette forward until the cassette is fully seated.
   3. To lock the cassette in its slot, squeeze the latch lever (A) toward the latch (B) and rotate the latch (B) in the direction that is shown.
