4.2 IOM Replacement
Step 5 :
Install the IOM.
a.
Caution:
If a pin on the IOM’s internal connectors is bent or damaged, the
IOM will have to be replaced. For this reason it is imperative that the IOM is
not forced into position, that it is inserted straight, and that the directions for
installing the IOM are followed exactly.
b.
Ensure that the handles on the IOM are not latched. To unlatch them, press the latch
release in the direction shown in the following image.
Figure 42:
Unlatching IOM Handles
c.
Align the IOM with the empty slot on the top of the chassis so that the arrow on the IOM
latch release is facing toward the side shown in the following image.
d.
Slowly lower the IOM into the empty slot while being careful to keep it level. Do not to
force it.
Figure 43:
Installing the IOM
e.
When the IOM is lowered fully, apply light pressure with both hands evenly on the IOM
body, not the handles, to seat the IOM in the connector. If the IOM won’t seat correctly,
DO NOT FORCE IT
. Instead, back the IOM out, check the pins to make sure none are
damaged, and try again.
