Installation
For final installation and assembly, refer to the outline and installation drawings shown in Appendix E of
this manual.
1.
Assemble the connector backshells.

nutplates.
4.
Assemble the rear plate into the GEA 71 unit rack.
5.
Insert the GEA 71 into the rack, noting proper orientation as shown on the installation drawing in
Appendix E.
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when inserting the GEA 71 into the rack. This may cause
damage to occur to the connectors, unit, and/or unit rack. If heavy resistance is felt
during installation, stop! Remove the GEA 71 and identify the source of resistance. The
rear plate is designed to float in the unit rack. Check to ensure the rear plate is not bound
by the connector harness.
6.
Lock the GEA 71 in place using the lever-locking handle. Fasten the handle to the GEA 71 body
using the provided Phillips screw.
CAUTION
Start the handle screw into the hole carefully, to avoid cross-threading. Do not apply
torque in excess of 14 in-lbs to the handle screw. The application of torque exceeding 14
in-lbs to this screw will damage the LRU case and/or retaining hardware.
