Inserting Modules

This procedure is common for all modules.
Caution: You must disconnect power prior to removing the power
module, but all other modules can be removed and inserted while
system power is supplied without damaging modules; however,
system performance may be affected.
Use the following procedure to insert a module into the shelf:
1. Align the module edges within the guides of the selected slot.
2. Slide the module into the chassis and press firmly until it seats fully into its
backplane edge connector. Handles on each side of the faceplate are provided
for removing and inserting the module.
3. Tighten the captive screws located on each side of the panel.
Caution: To avoid possible damage or intermittent failures, ensure
that you have completely inserted the module into the chassis and
that you have securely tightened the captive screws.
Note: A Phillips screw driver is required to tighten or loosen the
power supply module fasteners.
Removing Modules
Caution: You must disconnect power prior to removing the power
supply module.
Caution: You must disconnect the GPS antenna before removing the
IMC module or removing ground connection.
To remove a module, loosen the captive screws and then pull out on the handles
located on each side of the module. Be sure to place the module on a static-free
surface.
