5.3 Inter-Module Stacking Connectors

The modules are powered via the stacking connector located on the front right side looking from the front of the Multiserver unit. In Figure 5-3, the back of the unit is shown, and the connectors are therefore on the left. A stacking connector has two parts: a shroud and a block. The shroud is on the bottom of the module being installed and fits

over the block on the module below. As you position the module, align the shroud and the block. Press the two together until the connector is completely coupled. Make sure that the holes in the front of the module are aligned with the pins on the spacer.
