Removing the FP-3000 from the DIN Rail
To remove an FP-3000 network module, unlock it from the DIN rail by
placing a screwdriver in the slot on the rail clip and opening it to the
unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2-1. Then, disconnect the FP-3000
from the local bus connector of the terminal base, and lift the FP-3000 off
the rail. You should also remove the module from the terminal base to the
right since it has a clip that snaps into the base to its left.
Caution To avoid damaging the FP-3000 and the terminal bases, make sure that power is
not applied to the FP-3000 while you install or remove terminal bases.
