OPENING AND CLOSING THE FRONT PANEL

In order to insert or remove modules you will have to open the front panel. Turn the two captive screws
located on the front panel counter clockwise several turns until they release completely from the front
extrusions. Carefully lower the front panel door so that the front edge of the door is lower than the rear of
the door.
On – QT version frames, the fans on the front door will stop when the door is opened, and the rear fans
will increase to full speed.
Exercise care when opening the door on QT version frames so as to not contact
the fan blades while they are turning. This may cause personal injury and may
also damage the fans.
When closing the door, make sure that the thumbscrews are properly finger tightened. If the frame is
operated in environments subject to excessive vibration such as mobile trucks, you may tighten the
screws carefully with a screwdriver. Be careful not to over tighten as the thumbscrew head may twist off.
On – QT version frames, the front door fans will resume operation when the door is closed, and the rear
fans will operate ate reduced speed.

guide corresponding to the slot number where you installed the rear panel plate. Carefully slide the
module into the frame and press it completely into the rear panel connectors.
connectors are fully seated in the rear panel. When this is done, close the front panel and then tighten the
screws that hold the rear panel in place.

REMOVING THE MODULES

Press the card ejector down to release the module. Grasp the card using the card ejector and pull the
module out from the frame. As the card ejector goes past the front extrusion, you will have to pull it with
slightly more force. Carefully place the module in a safe place, free from static discharge.
