Input Module and Relay Card Installation 
Before an Input Module can be inserted into the rear panel, a relay card must be installed. 
Use the procedure below and refer to Figure 2-6 as necessary to install the relay card: 
1.  Power off the Product with the main power switch. 
2.  Remove the six screws that secures the plastic frame to the rear panel. 
3.  Remove the plastic frame. 
4.  Slide the aluminum slot protector out of the Product. 
5.  Carefully align the rails of the relay card into the slot guides. 
6.  Slowly push the relay card into the Product until the card is fully seated. 
WCaution 
Do not force the relay card into the slot. The card should easily 
move when the rails of the relay card are properly aligned in the 
slot guides. 
The 2638A/05 has only one available relay slot. Do not remove 
the cover plates on slots 2 and 3. This will damage the Product 
and require a return for service. 
7.  Install the plastic frame and secure it to the rear panel with six screws.
