Step 4 After the module is properly inserted, tighten the module plate to the router with the two captive screws. The screws
should be torqued to 5 to 7 in-lbs.

Before you install the modules to the router, make sure that the router is fully powered off. Every time you
insert or remove a module, the router must be powered off first. The power should be resumed after the module
is inserted into or removed from the slot.
