re-installation.
3. Disconnect all network cables attached to the host platform.
4. Refer to detailed instructions contained in the host platform’s user
guides to remove the chassis cover, if applicable. Power must be
unplugged from the chassis before removing the cover.
2.1.3 Installing the WPIM-RT1
To install the WPIM-RT1 into the device, refer to Figure 2-2 and
complete the following steps:
1. Remove the blank faceplate from the appropriate WAN slot by
removing the three WPIM screws that secure it to the standoffs.
2. Orient the WPIM-RT1 as shown in Figure 2-2.
3. Carefully insert the WPIM-RT1 connector into the WPIM connector
pins on the device.
Both the WPIM and the host platform in which the WPIM is
installed are static sensitive devices. Use an antistatic strap
and follow all static safe precautions during installation. Failure
to do so could result in damage to the WPIM and the host
platform receiving it.

CAUTION
When removing an existing WPIM, pull the module straight up
to avoid damaging the connector.
