Step 3. Fit the module locator
On the 1050 3U frame, the card guides and rear connector fitting holes use 10mm
spacing. However modules can only be fitted at 20mm and 30mm spacing, as
determined by the chosen rear connectors.
To ease the fitting and removal of modules, once 20mm and 30mm rear connectors
are installed for each rack’s complement of cards, module locators may be fitted.
The locators snap-in to 10mm spaced holes underneath the board guides.
WARNING: Always fit the rear connector before inserting the module. Fitting the rear
connector after the module is inserted may damage the connector.
Notes:
Certain modules with tall components may not fit to the left hand side of a module
with a 20mm rear panel. Please check before fitting the rear connector panel.
Cover unused rear panel space with the blank rear panels supplied.
Module removal
To remove the card proceed as follows:
•lift up the card ejector and gently pull the card out
WARNING: Do not remove the rear connector with the module in place, as rear
connector pins may be bent or damaged.
WARNING: Please ob serve nor mal static han dling pre cau tions when han dling
elec tronic equip ment or sub assemblies.
