Step	Action	Illustration
1	Place the pins at the back of the module into the centering holes on the lower part of the rack (number 1).
2	Swivel the module to bring it into contact with the rack (number 2).
3	Fix the processor module to the rack by tightening the screw on the upper part of the module (number 3).

NOTE: the mounting of processor modules is identical to the mounting of other modules.

NOTICE

POTENTIAL MODULE DAMAGE

A processor module must always be mounted with the rack power supply switched off.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Grounding modules

Processor modules are grounded using metal plates at the rear of the module. When the module is in place, these metal plates are in contact with the metal of the rack. This provides the ground connection.
