7.12.2 Install a Module
Installing a module is a bit more complex because you first have to be sure the locking
screws are aligned correctly.
Perform the following procedure to install a module:
1. Verify that the Controller has been turned OFF.
2. Remove the replacement module from its anti-static packaging. This packaging is
designed to protect the module components from electrostatic discharge.
3. Rotate the two locking screws counterclockwise until the threads on the screws
engage those of the module panel. See Figure 7-12 .
By doing this, the screws will be perfectly perpendicular to the module panel and
will align perfectly when the module is inserted.

4. Insert the module so the board’s top and bottom edges are riding in the proper
guides.
5. Gently, but firmly, push the module in until the 64-pin DIN connector at the back of
the module mates with the corresponding connector on the backplane, leaving the
module panel resting against the controller back panel.
6. Rotate the two locking screws clockwise. As the screws are rotated, they will first
disengage from the module panel threads, and then begin to engage those of the
bracket behind the controller panel.
CAUTION!
!
Tighten the screws until they are just snug. Do not tighten
them any further because the mating bracket can easily be
bent.
