Step 3.  Remove bottom-front and modules rear top Retaining Screws in any QPM 

or Face Plates 

On the bottom-front of the unit, there are two retaining screws for each QPM card slot as 

well as two other retaining screws on the rear top of the module. These four screws are 

used to secure a QPM face plate in position. These screws are also used to secure the 

individual QPM cards, which can be subjected to significant forces from the attached 

cables.  (See Figure 3.9.1c)  

 

 

ocedure in Section 3.9.1 above.

  

Step 2. 

Screw down tightly the two 7/16 stand-off on the top of pre installed stand-off 

from the factory. 

p 3. 

Align the two headers pin on the top of the two sets of socket fixed at the 

bottom side of the QPM module. (Note: After firmly attached the sockets and 

the header pin, move the mounted pins slightly tilted towards the front of the 

 connector socket slot. Align the connector pins on the bottom of 

the QPM card with the connector socket inside

 

the unit.
