CAUTION: Use extreme care when inserting or removing modules from the C4c CMTS chassis. Some components may be
scraped off the bottom of the Printed Wiring Board (PWB).
Module Installation Overview
Each module is installed in three basic steps:
1.
Use proper ESD precautions before handling modules.
2.
Align and insert module into proper slot. Lock ejector levers before proceeding to the next module: red buttons will
click audibly if module is completely seated in the slot and ejector levers are closed.
3.
Install proper PIC or filler panel in the corresponding rear slot of the chassis. (The RCM does not have a PIC.)
Note: If you meet strong resistance when attempting to seat the module, PIC or filler panel, remove it from the chassis and
try reinserting it. Be sure that you have aligned the left and right edges in the correct matching tracks.
