When installing the PC cards, equalize the loads on the power module. For example, if the shelf has
nine cards, five should be loaded in one half of the Data Shelf (slots 1 through 8) and four should be
loaded into the other half of the Data Shelf (slots 9 through 16).
CAUTION:
Consult the printed circuit card manual to determine if hardware options need to be
changed or verified before inserting the card.

Shelf is powered on. This procedure should only be performed by personnel familiar with this
procedure.
