CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before
performing installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can
cause serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
1. Make sure all potential electrostatic build-up has been properly discharged to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by wearing an ESD wrist strap or by touching Earth or the
chassis ground.
2. Disconnect the cable from the port.
3. Swing the metal bail-latch down and pull the port from the module.
