If there are adjacent modules, disconnect the damaged module from the adjacent modules.
a.
Loosen the front captive thumbscrews two full turns on the adjacent modules.
b.
On the back of the damaged module and the module above it (if present), move the alignment
mechanisms into the unlocked position.
3.
Disconnect the cables from the damaged module.
a.
Disconnect the power supply cables.
b.
Disconnect and completely remove the expansion interconnect cables connecting the damaged
module to the adjacent modules.
Removing the expansion interconnect cables prevents damaging the cables when moving the
module in and out of the rack.
c.

4.
Completely loosen the front captive thumbscrews of the damaged module.
5.
Slowly extend the damaged module from the front of the rack approximately 5 cm (2 inches).
IMPORTANT:
The rack shelves support the module but do not keep the module from sliding out of the rack. Do
not extend the damaged module farther from the rack than necessary to access the bezel
mounting features.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the module, always support the bottom of the module
where the rack shelf contacts the module when removing it from the rack. Do not touch internal
mechanical or electrical components while moving the module.
