MODULE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
The basic rules for installing plug-in cards are as follows:
Never install, change or remove a module without first con-
necting to the shelf with an ESD grounding cable. Failure to
do so may cause ESD damage to the modules.
When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is
correctly engaged before applying sufficient pressure to
bring the plug-in panel flush with the front panel. Improper
alignment can result in damaged pins on the backplane con-
nector and/or damage to the plug-in connector.
Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their finger-
grip fastener pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached
cable(s). Pulling on the cables may damage the cable, plug-
in connector, and/or plug-in module connector attachment.
All slots must be filled with either a peripheral plug-in module
or a blank panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integ-
rity and cooling air from the fan.
