Plug the Control board assembly into the RF board, with the
component side of the Control board facing backwards. (Refer to the
photos in Appendix D.) All three connectors on the Control board
must be lined up with the three connectors on the RF board at all pins.
Make sure the Control board is pushed as far down as it will go;
it should be flat against the RF board along its entire edge, with all
three connectors properly mated.
i
If the Control board does not plug in easily, you may have one
or more connectors installed incorrectly.
The long-handled Allen wrench can be used to extract the
Control board (Figure 6-11). To the left of J7 on the RF board you’ll
find the label "LIFT" near a hole at the base of the Control board.
Insert the Allen wrench into this hole, then rest the knee of the wrench
on the nearby screw head. Pry the board up with the wrench while
guiding the board out at the top.

Once you have tried the Control board extraction technique
described above, plug the Control board back in for the tests that
follow.
Secure the front panel and Control boards together using two
chassis screws (Figure 6-12). The upper left and right corners of the
Control board may be touching the 2-D fasteners, or there may be a
small gap.
