So I installed the card... or i thought i did - after removing and replacing 100 screws...
Powered up - DENIED!!! IB-48p : NOT INSTALLED :x

I only saw one spot where the cable seemed to fit....
Could i have just completely messed up the install? Anyone else ever have this?
I'll have to get another crack at it tomorrow night... ZZZZzzzz.....

Did you learn a lesson from this?

Always test things out BEFORE re-assembly!

I believe there are 2 spots that the board will fit. You may have connected it wrong.

Certainly the thought crossed my mind before i put it back together, although the thought of something going wrong while my faithful battle axe is in pieces in front of me; I power it up ... a big cloud of smoke rises from my trusty steed!... I chose to close it before powering. Sometimes i just don't want to take chances... and when it comes to the center piece of my creative writing tool of music... well.. you get the picture.

But tonight you can bet i will power it up in pieces!

I only noticed one slot that the card would fit in. I did see another slot, but it was quite a bit larger than the one it did fit in. I guess i just totally did not see the other slot. UGGHhhh... :roll:

But if thats the only thing i screwed up, than i guess it could be worse. TY!
