Replacing Blank-Panel Slot Covers with I/O Modules

The procedure below describes how to install a module into a slot that is currently not used
(unoccupied) and covered by a blank panel.
Before replacing a blank-panel slot cover with a module, power down the device.
(French) Avertissement: Assurez-vous de bien éteindre l'appareil avant d'installer un
module dans une fente vide.
➢ To replace a blank-panel slot cover with a module:
1. Power down the device.
2. On the device's front panel, locate the two screws securing the blank-panel slot cover to
the slot in which you want to install the module.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws to remove the blank-panel slot cover
from the chassis.
4. Gently insert the module into the empty slot, aligning the module with the rails in the slot
in the following module orientation, depending on whether you are inserting it in the top-
or bottom-row slots:
● Top-row slots: Ensure that the module is orientated such that the port-number labels
are located at the bottom of the module's front panel. This module orientation is
considered as facing up.
