Installing and Removing the VPN Module

Vertical slots

a. Position the VPN module in the slot. (See Figure 6.) Make sure that you align the sides of the

switching-module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the slot.

b. Carefully slide the VPN module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the module

makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers have closed to

approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See Figure 7.)

c. Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure

to the left, deflecting the module approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) to create a small gap between

the module’s EMI gasket and the module adjacent to it. (See Figure 7.)

Caution Do not exert too much pressure on the ejector levers because you will bend and damage

them.

d. While pressing on the ejector levers, simultaneously close them to fully seat the VPN module in the

backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module

faceplate. (See Figure 8.)

e. Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module.

Note Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation

screws.
