3. Open the module latching mechanism and remove the module from
the base unit to which the adapter will be attached.
4. Push the flexbus connector toward the right side of the terminal base
to unplug the backplane connection.
5. Release the locking tab and remove the adapter module.
6. Before installing the new adapter, notice the notch on the right rear of
the adapter. This notch accepts the hook on the terminal base unit.
The notch is open at the bottom. The hook and adjacent connection
point keep the terminal base and the adapter tight together, reducing
the possibility of a break in communication over the backplane.
7. Complete the adapter mounting as shown below.
8. Reinstall the module in the adjacent terminal base unit.
