NOTE: A “typical” ADF module and container without cabling is approximately 7 in. x 10 in. x 22 5/8 in. (179 mm x 250 mm x 576 mm) and weighs about 20 lbs. (9 kg). An ADF module with an indefinite amount of cable length and fiber count can weigh much more.
Make sure the trays on the module are pivoted inward about 15° during the following step. b. Slip guide pins on the side of the module into the keyways on the ADF Frame, then close and latch the trays on the latch bar.
