Moving library cover plates
Unpack the replacement module and place it on a
sturdy work surface. Save the packaging materials to
return the empty module.
The library has removable top and bottom cover plates.
The two covers are identical and the process for
removing and installing them is the same for the top
and bottom of the module.
The replacement module is shipped with a bottom
cover plate but not a top cover plate. Move the cover
plates as necessary so the replacement module has
the cover plates in the same location as the empty
module and the empty module has a bottom cover
plate.
To remove a cover plate from a module:
1. When removing the bottom cover plate, gently
turn the module over so you can access the bottom
of the module.
2. Push a small flat head or Torx screwdriver into
the hole to retract the spring lock, slide the cover
until it reaches the tool, remove the tool and
continue sliding the cover to the front of the
module until all the tabs are released.
3. Remove the cover from the module.

of the module, gently turn the module over so you
can access the bottom of the module.

module, gently push it down, and then slide the
cover towards the back of the module until the
spring lock engages.
