To remove a MICA module from the digital modem network module, follow these steps:
Step 1
Orient the digital modem network module so that the faceplate is on the right.
Caution
Handle MICA modules by the card edges only. MICA modules are ESD-sensitive components and
can be damaged by mishandling.
Step 2
Remove one MICA module at a time, beginning with the one farthest from you.
Step 3
To lift the MICA module out of its socket, pull the spring clips on both sides outward (see
Figure 9-4
)
and tilt the MICA module away from you until it is free of the clips (see
Figure 9-5
).
Step 4
Hold the MICA module by the edges with your thumb and index finger and lift it out of the socket (see
Figure 9-6
). Place the removed MICA module in an antistatic bag to protect it from ESD damage.
Step 5
Repeat
