Compression Connector Caution

Caution:

The compression connector on the Dual Head XIO Module is very delicate and

easily damaged. Do not touch or bump the gold bristled pad (see Figure 2-8). The
connector is on the side opposite the handle, as shown in Figure 2-9. Do not grab the back
of the Dual Head XIO Module when you remove it, or the compression connector may
be damaged.

Always place a cap on the compression connector after removing the Dual Head XIO
Module. Caps are included with your workstation. Before reinstalling the Dual Head
XIO Module in your workstation, remove the cap from the compression connector.

Before you remove the Dual Head XIO Module, read Appendix A, “Care and Cleaning
of Compression Connectors”.
