The SS10 enclosure does not use the "top ears" present on most SBus cards.
Fortunately, on most SBus cards, the "top ears" are on a screw-in strip
that
can (and should, for the SS10) be removed beforehand.

The SBus cards are held in place at the back panel by a pair of small
rectangular
plates and a pair of rear-entry screws. Use the ones that used to hold the
blanking panel in place.

PS: don't throw the "top ear" plate away - it is needed if you move the
SBus card
into eg: an SS1, SS2, SS5, SPARCclassic or other system that *does* use the
ears.
