problems with identical port names on multiple systems.
When removing a controller from this system, ensure that your applications have
been shut down beforehand.
1. Prepare a clean, static-free work pad or container to place the controller.
2.
Replacing the controller model

that secure the
control module’s ejection levers.
5.
