DFlex-4/104 User's Manual, ver. 0.04

To remove a SLIM from its connector follow these steps:

1. Using both hands, place your thumbs on the clips that hold

the SLIM into the socket, and place your index fingers on the

edge of the SLIM.

2. Push outwards (with your thumbs) on the clips until you

release the SLIM from the clips. Your index fingers can then

raise the SLIM past the clips. You can then remove the

SLIM from the DFlex-4/104 adapter. The force required to

open the clips is small and the SLIM naturally springs

upwards when the clips are open wide enough. If removal is

difficult, then you are probably trying to raise the SLIM

before the clips are open. Refer to Appendix D: SLIM

Insertion/Removal regarding the removal of a SLIM.

The RS-232, RS-232/Fast, RS-485/422, RS-423 and 20mA current

loop SLIMs are very sensitive to static electricity. Make sure you

wear an anti-static wristband before you remove the SLIMs from

the anti-static shipping bag. When you remove the board from the

anti-static bag, handle it only by the edges and place it on the

anti-static bag or an anti-static mat.
