3. If you are accessing the unit from the rear, follow this procedure: While holding onto
the module, push it out and turn it in such a manner (generally a sideways, diagonal
turn) that it will fit through the frame opening. Then pull the module back through the
opening in the fame. Carefully disconnect the ribbon cables. Once again, label the
cables, indicating which cable was removed from which connector; the labeling will be
helpful when reconnecting.
When installing a module, reverse the previous steps and take note of the following points:
l
Weatherstripping on the back edge of the module must be intact and in good condition
if it is to prevent water from seeping into the display.

Module latches must be fully engaged to create a watertight seal around the edge of the
module. The module should be firmly seated against the display when the latches are
fully engaged.
Each module assembly contains a module housing (containing LEDs and the driver board) and
