Servicing the Device
Removing a PIM
To remove a PIM:
1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive
the PIM.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the
ESD point on the device.
3. If the device is powered on, press and release the power button to power off
the device. Verify that the POWER LED is off.
4. Label the cables connected to the PIM so that you can later reconnect each
cable to the correct PIM.
5. Disconnect the cables from the PIM.
6. If necessary, arrange the cables to prevent them from dislodging or developing
stress points.
7. Loosen the captive screws on each side of the PIM faceplate using a 1/8-inch
flat-tip screwdriver.
8. Grasp the handles on each side of the PIM faceplate, and slide the PIM out of
the device (see Figure 16). On some PIMs the handles are metal ears attached
to the PIM faceplate. Other PIMs have long screws that serve as the handles.

9. Place the PIM in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
10. If you are not reinstalling a PIM into the empty slot, install a blank PIM
faceplate over the slot to maintain proper airflow.
