Chapter 3 – PCIe Card Installation and Chassis Setup Steps
5. OPTIONAL STEP: If you are going to install an optional Sonnet mobile
rack device mounting kit into the III-R, remove and set aside the six
screws securing the blank plate inside the enclosure, and then remove
and set aside the cover plate (Figure 3).
6. OPTIONAL STEP: Due to its size and weight, we recommend that you
install the empty rackmount enclosure now. If you don’t have full
access to the back of the rack into which you’ll install the III-R, or you
are installing an optional mobile rack device mounting kit into a III-R
that will reside in a mobile cart or rack, wait to install the assembled
III-R until instructed to do so.
7. Turn the inner assembly so the PCIe slots are facing up (Figure 4).
8. Loosen all three thumbscrews of the PCIe card bracket locking plate,
and then remove and set it aside (Figure 4).
9. Remove and set aside the port access covers (Figure 4).

Support Note: To avoid damaging components due to static
electricity discharge, wear an antistatic wrist strap while working
inside the Echo Express chassis.
WARNING: When handling computer products, take care to prevent
components from being damaged by static electricity; avoid working
in carpeted areas. Handle expansion cards only by their edges and avoid
touching connector traces and component pins. Also, avoid touching the
Echo chassis’ circuit boards and any of its components.
