Preparing and Installing the 9A426-02 Module
Unpacking an APIM
1. Remove the APIM from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing
materials in the event the APIM must be reshipped.)
2. Remove the APIM from the non-conductive bag.
3. Examine the APIM and check for damage. If damage exists, DO NOT proceed;
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support. Otherwise, place the APIM
back into the non-conductive bag, set the APIM aside, and proceed.

Removing the 9A426-02 Module’s ATM-Port Retaining Plate
1. Place the module (component side up) on a non-conductive, flat surface.
Position the module so that the module’s front (faceplate) is to the left and the
module’s back (backplane connectors) is to the right. See Figure 2-4.
2. Locate the module’s ATM-Port Retaining Plates. Each plate is secured by two
screws and is located on the right side panel of the module’s faceplate. See
Figure 2-4.
