RX5000.
2.1. Installing A Module In The Chassis
To install a module in the the RuggedBackbone™ chassis, align the module guide ribs with the
channels on the chassis and push the module in as far as it will go. There is a detent position that must
be pushed through to properly seat the connectors; this is the added resistance from the grounding
springs. When properly seated, the module flange will rest on the main chassis frame. Tighten the
thumbscrews using finger strength only.
