pliers to remove it from the inside of the console. Be careful not to damage any internal components in the

vertical connector on the Comm Backplane board, then push the board firmly in as far as it can go. The sheet
metal bracket of the Comm module slides into the slot and the front edge of the bracket fits into the keyed slot
in the front of the Comm Bay.
