   1. If removed, install the conduction plate into the bottom of the drive cage and secure it with four screws.

      There are gap pads located on both side of the conduction plate.

      • If the small gap pad (1) is damaged or detached, replace it with a new one.

      • If the bigger gap pad (2) is damaged or detached, discard the conduction plate. Then, install a new conduction plate already installed with the two gap pads.

      Note

      Make sure the metal tab is in the unlocked position.
