10.2.3. Mechanical Connections

Damage to power and control pins may occur when modules

have been forced into place. Remove the module and, with a

strong light, examine all power and control connector pins within

the mainframe to ensure that they are not damaged.

Install the module and verify that the power and control

connectors mate properly. Ensure that the module captive

fasteners are tight.

Damage to signal cables may occur if signal cables have been

pulled or subjected to continuous movement. Examine the signal

cables for bent or improper routing. Excessive bends or recurring

movement may weaken and fatigue signal cables.

Damage to relay connector jacks may occur when signal cable

connectors have been over tightened. Examine relay connector

jacks at the signal connector panel. Ensure that the signal cable

connectors are tight.

 NOTE: Be careful when tightening SMA connectors. The maximum

torque rating that can be applied is 8 inch-pounds. Over

tightening can damage the SMA connectors.

Damage to power and control pins may occur when the CPU has

been improperly installed or forced into place. Remove the CPU

and, with a strong light, examine all power and control connector

pins within the mainframe to ensure that they are not damaged.

Verify that the CPU is fully seated and secured with attaching

hardware.

Damage to power and control pins may occur when power

supplies have been forced into place. Remove the power supply

and with a strong light, examine all power and control connector

pins within the mainframe to ensure that they are not damaged.

Verify that the power supplies are fully seated and secured with

captive fasteners.
