1. Examine the IOM for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do not install if the pins are bent.
2. Grasp the IOM using both hands, and with the latch in the open position, orient the module and align it for
insertion into the target IOM slot.

A controller module that is only partially seated will prevent optimal performance of the controller enclosure.
Verify that the controller module is fully seated before continuing.
