2.13 Backplane Setup
2.13.1 Insertion of Clock Cards
The clock-card connectors (see Figure 2–23) use AMP 55-pin, 2-mm, HM
connectors and are identical to the backplane termination-card connectors.
They can be mated improperly because they are keyed only on one side,
whereas the backplane connectors are keyed in the center and do not allow
improper insertion.
The clock card should be inserted or removed from the backplane
only after power has been disconnected, to prevent damage to the
CDC components.

Figure 2–24 shows the mating sequence. When mated, the connectors should
be firm with no lines showing. Some rocking action might be required to seat
or remove the connectors, but should be minimal to prevent bending the pins.
