Removing the 9A426-02 Module’s ATM-Port Retaining Plate

WARNING

To install an APIM properly in the 9A426-02 Module, you MUST remove the module’s ATM-Port Retaining Plate. Failure to do so can damage the module and the APIM.

1.Place the module (component side up) on a non-conductive, flat surface. Position the module so that the module’s front (faceplate) is to the left and the module’s back (backplane connectors) is to the right. See Figure 2-4.

2.Locate the module’s ATM-Port Retaining Plates. Each plate is secured by two screws and is located on the right side panel of the module’s faceplate. See Figure 2-4.
