1.
Carefully pre-insert, by hand, the backplane signal module(s) into the printed circuit board hole pattern. Make sure the
connector(s) are oriented properly by confirming the location of the #1 circuit notch with respect to the printed circuit
board layout. See Figure 2-5.
2.
Place the pre-loaded board into the support pallet (Optional). See Figure 2-6.
3.
Locate the tooling assembly in the connector assembly, carefully checking alignment. The orientation keys on the tool must
engage with the groove on the connector housing. See Figure 2-7.
