LPOD C-, X-, or Ku-Band Outdoor Amplifier / Block Up Converter

MN-LPOD

Appendix C

Revision 14

C–3

Step Task

Reconnect the fan power supply by pressing the male and female

connectors together until the locking mechanism snaps and locks – see

Figure C-7.

Re-install the fan shroud onto the chassis – make sure that you keep

the fan power supply cable clear of the fan and heat sink surfaces.

Then, re-install the eight screws as described in Step 2.

Torque the screws to 11 ±2 inch lbs.

Reconnect the power source to the LPOD.
