b. Power on the blade by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector up, covering the thumb
screw.
5. Verify that the power LED on the blade is displaying a steady green light. If it does not
illuminate, ensure that the blade is firmly seated.

2. Use the Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the thumb screw at the bottom of the panel.
3. Remove the filler panel from the chassis (see Figure 35 (page 67)).
