Complete the following steps to create a merged module from two or more
individual modules. You must complete these steps prior to installing the
modules in a mainframe.
CAUTION.
To avoid damaging the mainframe or any modules, always power
down the mainframe before removing or installing modules.
1. Determine which modules will reside in the highest-numbered slots in a
single mainframe.
2.
Place the merge connector of these modules in the extended position. The
module in the lowest-numbered slot must have the merge connector in the
recessed position.
Use Figure 2--6 as a guide for determining the location of the master module
with the merged module set. Even though Figure 2--6 shows a five module
set, you can still use the illustration to position the master module with
respect to the slave module. For example, if you have a two module set, the
master module is located in the lower-numbered slot, and the slave module is
in the higher-numbered slot.

3. Place the module on the right side.
4.
Using a Torx T-10 screw driver, remove the two screws holding the merge
connector to the module (see Figure 2--7).
5. Gently lift the merge connector out of the slot and place it in the extended
position such that the screw holes line up over the two standoff posts.
6. Install the two screws into the standoff posts. Tighten the screws to 4-in. lbs.
