2.4 The Hold-down Clamp

The IPC-616 uses a hold-down clamp to ensure that the plug-in cards are positioned securely. It also
offers protection against shock and vibration. To install your cards into the passive backplane, proceed
as follows:
1. Detach the hold-down clamp by removing the two screws located at each end, and lifting it off the
chassis. See Figure 2-5 below.
2. Insert the rubber buffers (provided in your kit) into the hold-down clamp. These buffers offer the
plug-in cards two levels of protection against vibration. See Figure 2-6 below:
