3.1.2 Installing the NextMove ES card
CAUTION: Before touching the card, be sure to discharge static electricity from your
body and clothing by touching a grounded metal surface. Alternatively,
wear an earth strap while handling the card.

and guides to support the card. An additional backplane card is recommended (see section 5).
1. Mount the backplane connector card (optional) at the rear of the rack system.
2. Slide the NextMove ES card into the guide rails, ensuring that it plugs securely into the
backplane connector.
3. Confirm that any neighboring cards or equipment are not touching the NextMove ES card.
