14. Use the injector handles to firmly seat the modules in place one at a time and
then tighten the hold-down screws on each module. The merge cable
assembly should allow enough play between two side-by-side modules.
15. After installing all of the modules, power on the mainframe and complete the
merge process listed under the Merged Modules tab in the System Configu-
ration dialog box.
Although you can unmerge modules from a merged set from within the TLA
application without physically separating modules, there will be times when you
have to physically unmerge the modules. The following procedures provide the
steps for unmerging the modules.
1. Power down the mainframe before removing the modules from the main-
frame.
2. Use the ejector handles to disengage each module in the merged module set
from the mainframe.
3.
With the assistance of another individual, slide all of the merged modules out
of the mainframe and place them on a static-free working surface.
4. Gently separate the modules on at a time from the merged module set.
5.
Lay the modules on their right sides.
6. Remove the two Torx T-10 screws that hold the merge cable assembly to the
module.
7. Place the merge cable assembly into the recessed position.
8. Install the two Torx T-10 screws onto the assembly and tighten the screws to
4 in-lbs.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for the other modules.
You can now reinstall the modules in the mainframe as needed.
