After assembly, the pick and place cover is removed, and the ILM mechanism (with the ILM cover installed) closed to protect the contacts. The ILM Cover is designed to pop off if the pick and place cover is accidentally left in place and the ILM closed with the ILM Cover installed. This is shown in Figure 4-7.
