Figure 4. Installing a Half-Height Blade NOTE: The above figure shows installation of a half-height blade. The procedure for installing a full-height blade is identical to installing a half-height blade. Beginning at the top, slide the blades into the enclosure from left to right. When the blade is securely installed, the blade handle returns to the closed position.
