To insert a module:

1. Pull the locking-bar pins to release the locking bar and swing it

up.

2. Use the installation data/user manual for your module to:

a.

position the keying bands in the backplane connectors to
correspond to the key slots on the module. This prevents
you from inserting the wrong module in this slot.

ATTENTION

!

Observe the following precautions when
inserting or removing keys:

D insert or remove keys with your fingers
D make sure that key placement is correct

Incorrect keying or the use of a tool can result
in damage to the backplane connector and
possible system faults.

Each I/O module is slotted in two places

at the rear edge of the circuit board.

These slots are intended to mate with the

plastic keys supplied with each chassis.
