Installation
Module Installation Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below before installing the
front and rear modules and any fiber optic option submodules:
• Use standard anti-static procedures during installation. As modules
can be installed or removed when the GeckoFlex frame is powered up,
before removing the cover, please use an anti-static bracelet tied to a
metal part of the frame.
• Install the rear module first, then the front module, then the optical sub-
module option (if used).
• When installing or removing a rear module, loosen or tighten the
screws holding the retainer clips to the frame manually with the
retainer clip tool provided inside the front cover of the frame or use a
2 mm (5/64”) hex screwdriver. Please do not use an electric screw-
driver.
Note On newer 751- version GeckoFlex frames, a Rear Retainer Clip removal tool
and 2 extra retainer clips and screws for installing them are provided on the
inside of the frame cover.
• Make every effort to leave the screws holding the retainer clips in place
(do not remove them completely). They are very small and can easily
drop into other equipment causing a shorting hazard. (Two turns of the
screw should be enough to loosen the screws, 3 turns or more will
remove it.)
• When installing a rear module, tighten the screws on the retainer clips
just until snug. Refer to the Mechanical specifications for the retainer
clip screw torque (
Table 3 on page 47 ).
• If using a fiber optic submodule, handle it carefully, use anti-static pre-
cautions, and read the
Fiber Optic Cleaning Requirement on page 15
before cabling.
