Step 4
This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening
space for the replacement module.
Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push

Remove the module filler plate by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler plate. (To
