If the GDL 90 unit is removed and reinstalled, verify that the GDL 90 unit power-up self-test 
sequence is successfully completed and that no failure messages are annunciated on any 
interfaced controller or MFD.  
 
If the GDL 90 unit is removed for repair and reinstalled, or if the GDL 90 unit is removed and 
replaced with a different GDL 90 unit, then follow ‘Equipment Setup and Configuration’ 
procedures contained in the GDL 90 Installation Manual listed in paragraph 2.1 of this 
document, and verify that the GDL 90 unit power-up self-test sequence is successfully 
completed and that no failure messages are annunciated on any interfaced controller or MFD. 
 
If any work has been done on the aircraft that could affect the system wiring, antenna cable, or 
any interconnected equipment, verify that the GDL 90 unit power-up self-test sequence is 
successfully completed and that no failure messages are annunciated on any interfaced controller 
or MFD.   
 

GSL 71 

To remove the GSL 71 from the mounting frame, use the 3/32 hex tool described in Section 2.14 
and turn the tool counterclockwise. The unit will be pushed out of the frame by the cam lock 
assembly. No special extraction tools are required. 
 
To install the GSL 71 in the mounting frame, make sure the cam lock is rotated so the rear part is 
up, then slide the unit into the frame and tighten with the 3/32 hex tool. The unit will be pulled 
into the frame by the cam lock and the connector will fully engage. 
 
If the GSL 71 unit is removed and reinstalled, verify that the GSL 71 unit power-up self-test 
sequence is successfully completed and that no failure messages are annunciated on any 
interfaced MFD.
