Page 46: Module Removal From Chassis
SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering MODULE REMOVAL FROM CHASSIS Because the 40-597 module is not fitted with a PXI handle, the following procedure should be followed for the extraction of the BRIC module from the host chassis. The extraction handle and fixing screw supplied with the module are required for this process. - Page 47 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering 4. Slacken the four screws securing the module into the host chassis as shown in Figure 7.7. These screws are in captive collars so don’t have to be fully removed but need to be loose (and still retained by the BRIC front panel) to allow extraction of the module.

Page 48: Card Removal From Bric
SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering CARD REMOVAL FROM BRIC The following procedure should be followed for the extraction of a matrix relay card from the 40-597 BRIC module. The card extraction handle supplied with the module is required for this process as shown in Figure 7.10. It should be noted that individual matrix cards can be removed from the BRIC sub-chassis without removing the entire BRIC from the host chassis. - Page 49 SECTION 7 - MAINTENANCE INFORMATION pickering 3. Fit the card extraction handle over the connector of the relay card to be removed as shown in Figure 7.12. Fasten the fixing screws of the extraction handle to the screwlocks of the D-type connector.
