To remove a SLIM from its connector follow these steps:
1. Using both hands, place your thumbs on the clips that hold
the SLIM into the socket, and place your index fingers on the
edge of the SLIM.
2. Push outwards (with your thumbs) on the clips until you
release the SLIM from the clips. Your index fingers can then
raise the SLIM past the clips. You can then remove the
SLIM from the DFlex-4/104 adapter. The force required to
open the clips is small and the SLIM naturally springs
upwards when the clips are open wide enough. If removal is
difficult, then you are probably trying to raise the SLIM
before the clips are open. Refer to
Appendix D: SLIM
Insertion/Removal regarding the removal of a SLIM.
The RS-232, RS-232/Fast, RS-485/422, RS-423 and 20mA current
loop SLIMs are very sensitive to static electricity. Make sure you
wear an anti-static wristband before you remove the SLIMs from
the anti-static shipping bag. When you remove the board from the
anti-static bag, handle it only by the edges and place it on the
anti-static bag or an anti-static mat.
