Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules:
•
Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.
•
Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optical sub-
module option (if used).
•
When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame (751-
version frames only). For 650- version frames without the tool, use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screw-
driver.
•
Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)
•
When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Do not apply more force than is necessary to seat the
rear module. Refer to the
Mechanical
specification for the 8900A-R rear
retainer clip screw torque in
.
