Remove the plug-in from the chassis by loosening the captured thumb screws. Stop loos-

ening when the screws spring out. Next, pull gently but firmly on the loosened screws. You
will feel some resistance as the plug-in disengages from the backplane. Once free of the
backplane, the plug-in should slide easily. Do not force the plug-in, as this could cause
damage to the plug-in, the instrument, or both.

When you remove the plug-in from the chassis, take care not to touch the plug-in's

recessed electrical PCB. Cover the empty slot in the chassis with a blank cover panel to
minimize dust contamination.

Warning

Do not leave deleted plug-ins connected to the controller backplane as this could result

in functional errors.
