Removing the Backplane Knockout

The ECM850 must be installed in the main (CPU) rack of an RX3i system, using a Universal
Backplane such as IC695CHS007, CHS012 or CHS016.
The back of the ECM850 has an exposed heat sink and backplane connector. Before
inserting the module into the backplane, remove the plastic knockout in the slot where the
module will be placed. The installation slot must match the slot that is selected in the
module's hardware configuration.
