8960DEC—Instruction Manual 13
Installation
GeckoFlex Frame
Installation of the 8960DEC module in a GeckoFlex frame is a process of:
1. Installing the 8900V-R rear module into the rear of the frame,
2. Placing the 8960DEC module in the corresponding front frame slot, and
3. Cabling and terminating signal ports.
Rear Module Installation
To install a rear module into the frame, follow these steps:
1. Each 8900V-R rear module or blank rear adapter cover is held in place
by two retainer strips as shown in
Figure 3 . Loosen (but do not remove
completely) the two screws holding each retainer strip to the frame
with a 2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Pull up on the retainer to remove
it, leaving the screws in place.
CAUTION Be careful to leave the screws in place as they can be easily lost or fall into
equipment below the frame creating a shorting hazard.
2. Remove the blank rear adapter cover by inserting needlenose pliers
into the slots in the top and bottom of the blank and pulling it off.
Note To remove a rear module already installed, follow the same steps. It is helpful
to first remove the front module so the rear can be pulled out more easily.
3. Insert the rear module into the empty slot.
4. Replace each retainer strip over the two screws on both sides of the
module and push down to seat the retainer.
5. Tighten the screws for each retainer just until they are snug. Do not
force or torque the screws too tightly.
