This procedure must be followed to install a DSP module.
To open the casing of the SDM-9120/9220/9230 chassis:
1. Wear an ESD (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) wrist strap, and attach it to the ground
lug on the power supply at the rear of the SDM-9120/9220/9230 chassis.
Refer to “Rear View of the SDM-9120” on page 4-2 or “Rear View of the SDM-
9230 UAC” on page 4-3 for the exact location of the ground lug.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic charges can damage system components. Always use
an ESD wrist strap when accessing internal components of the unit.
NOTE:
In countries where a 2-pin non-grounded power cord must be used, ensure
that the SDM-9120/9220/9230 is independently grounded with a wire from
Ground securely attached to the ground lug located at the rear of the SDM-
9120/9220/9230 chassis.

the port connectors facing you.
3. Turn the power switch OFF by pushing it to 0 , and unplug the power cord from the
power supply.
