6.Latch levers are provided with your system for easy removal of a processor cartridge or a termination board (see Figure 4-9) from your system. Install the latch levers on the upper right and left corners of the processor cartridge or termination board that is to be removed. Make sure that you fit the pin of each latch into the top corner hole of the processor cartridge or termination board so that the levers face each other. Then to remove a processor cartridge or termination board push both the left and right latch levers to an outside position, which in turn lifts the a processor cartridge or termination board in an upward motion out of its socket.

7.If your system has a processor and you are adding another processor, then you must remove the termination board from the slot were you are adding the processor and store the termination board appropriately.

!To remove a termination board, perform steps 9 and 10. Otherwise go to step 13.

8.If you are replacing one or more processors, leave all termination boards intact and remove the appropriate processor.

!To remove a processor, perform steps 11 and 12, otherwise go to step 13.

9.Install latches on the upper right and left corners of the termination board that is to be removed from the slot where the processor cartridge is to be installed.

10.Open the latch levers by pushing them towards the outside and remove the termination board (see Figure 4-10).
