Installing and Removing the VPN Module

Step 2 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the VPN module.

Step 3 Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the

following two sets of steps.

Horizontal slots

a. Place your thumbs on the left and right ejector levers, and simultaneously rotate the levers outward

to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

b. Grasp the front edge of the module, and slide the module part of the way out of the slot. Place your

other hand under the module to support the weight of the module. Do not touch the module circuitry.

Vertical slots

a. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers that are located at the top and bottom of the module, and

simultaneously rotate the levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

b. Grasp the edges of the module, and slide the module straight out of the slot. Do not touch the module

circuitry.

Step 4 Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall it in another slot.

Step 5 If the slot is to remain empty, install a module filler plate to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain

proper airflow through the chassis.

Warning

Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure

to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic

interference(EMI) that mightdisrupt otherequipment; and theydirect the flowof cooling

air through the chassis. Do not operate thesystem unless all cards andfaceplates are in

place.

Installing a VPN Module

This section describes how to install a VPN module in the chassis.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly

touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.

Warning

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not

stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
