DAS System User Manual

To install or remove a module from the mainframe, perform the following steps:

1. Power down the mainframe by using the front-panel power switch.

2. Wait 60 seconds. Remove the power cord and the attached probes (except the

92A60/90 Buffer Probe). If your mainframe has the three-phase power
supply option, disconnect the power cord at the wall outlet.

3. Locate the two square plastic latches near the back of the mainframe on its

lower sides (see Figure F–3); push in both buttons, lift the mainframe cover
from the back, tilt it away from the front of the mainframe, and remove it.

Press

Lift

4. Unfasten the two fasteners (top right and bottom right) that hold the

card-cage door to the card cage; remove the door (refer to Figure F–4).
