4. 2.5-inch SATA hard drive: equipped with DB-6910SAT adapter board, copper pillar, and screw fixation;
5. PMC sub card installation: adjust JPX1 level, assemble DB-6965PMC adapter card, and lock panel bracket;
6. USB flash module: After fixing the copper pillar, connect it to the CN7 socket;
7. Install the motherboard into the 6U CPCI chassis: align with the guide rail, insert the backplane connector, lock the puller and panel screws;
8. Installation of RTM adapter module: correspond to the motherboard model one by one. Mismatching may damage the hardware.
