Note to Users

 included with the module to ensure that the chassis can cool the device

effectively.
1.

Ensure the AC power source is connected to the chassis before installing the module. The
AC power cord grounds the chassis and protects it from electrical damage while you
install the module.

2.

Power off the chassis.

Inspect the slot pins on the chassis backplane for any bends or damage prior to
installation. Do not install a module if the backplane is damaged.

4.

Remove the black plastic connectors from all the captive screws on the module front
panel.
