Note - The IOU replacement kit includes plastic covers to protect the IOU connectors. These covers are to be returned to Oracle.
Squeeze the edges of a cover to release it from the connector.
Caution - The open extraction levers might slip down to eye level and pose a danger. Keep the levers closed and locked whenever possible.
Keep the IOU as perfectly vertical as possible.
When the IOU is almost completely into the slot, stop when you feel some resistance.
Caution - There is a danger of bending pins in the connector at the back of the IOU. Do not hold the IOU at an angle when inserting it into the slot.
Note - Because of the large number of connector pins at the rear of the IOU, it is normal to feel a larger than normal resistance as you seat the IOU. If you are not sure that you inserted the IOU at the proper angle (exactly 90° to the midplane), pull the IOU out and inspect the connector sockets and pins for damage. If there is no damage, try inserting the IOU again.
Tighten the screws to 15 in-lb. See Torque Reference.
Note - Install all components in their original locations.

Leave some slack in the cables to allow the cables to be moved aside when necessary.
Caution - Tying I/O cables too tightly can damage them.
Include the plastic connector covers (Step 2) with the component.
