EPC-9 Insertion
The EPC-9 must be installed onto a subplane that fits between the EPC-9 and the
VMEbus backplane. Subplanes are discussed in more detail in Appendix D -
Subplanes.
The subplane is installed first, connecting to the backplane. After installing the
subplane, the EPC-9 processor module can be inserted into the VMEbus chassis.

Slide the EPC-9 module into the left-most slot occupied by the subplane.
Use firm pressure on the handles to mate the module with the connectors.

Tighten the retaining screws in the top and bottom of the front panel to
ensure proper connector mating and prevent the module from loosening due
to vibration.
