▼ To Inspect the Pins on the Front Side of the Midplane

The primary tool used to check the midplane pins is the pin gauge block. This tool
effortlessly slides over the straight pins of an iTRAC connector that is in good
condition. If there is any resistance, a pin is bent and requires further examination.
1. Remove the rubber tubes that secure the filler strip for line card slot 0.
Set the tubes aside.
2. Remove the filler strip for slot 0.
Set the filler strip aside.
3. Using the pin gauge block, gently insert it into the iTRAC connector on the left
side.
4. If you feel any resistance to insertion, note the connector number on the
notepad.
