Removing the Front Air Intake Grill
Before you install the bay controller modules, you must remove the front air intake grill. It is recommended that the bay controller modules be installed after the SSR is mounted in a rack.
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to remove the air intake grill from the bottom-front of the chassis:
Step 1 Grasp the face of the grill firmly by the air vents.
Step 2 Pull the assembly toward the front of the chassis to release the two ball studs from the receptacles holding the assembly in place. Refer to Figure 1.
Figure 1. Front Air Intake Grill Removal
Installing Bay Controller Modules
The bay controller modules are shipped separately and need to be installed. To avoid damage to the backplane, a detailed inspection of the bay controller module VDHM connector is required each time a module is removed or inserted.
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to install the bay controller modules:
Step 1 Remove the bay controller module from its packaging and static protection bag.
Step 2 Before inserting the bay controller module, remove the VHDM protective cap from the end of the module before use. Set the protective cap aside in a safe place. Refer to Figure 2.
Figure 2. Remove VHDM Protective Cap Before Use
(router module depicted)
- A detailed inspection of the VHDM connector on the back of the bay controller module is required prior to insertion. Lay the module gently on a flat surface so you can perform a VHDM connector inspection.

.
NOTE If the VHDM connector has any signs of damage, DO NOT insert it into a bay. Mark the module as damaged and call TSR-BY-AVICI to request an RMA.
Step 4 Look into bay controller slot to ensure bay controller path is free of obstruction; for example, packing materials.
Step 5 Continue installation process. Open the release latches on the bay controller module.
Step 6 Align the bay controller module with the aluminum rails above the baseplate.
Step 7 Slide the bay controller module into the left or right card guides from the front of the bay. Refer to Figure 5.

Step 8 Engage the latches to seat the connector at the rear of the module firmly into the controller backplane.
Removing the Bay Controller Modules
If you need to remove installed bay controller modules, use the following procedure.
To avoid damage to the backplane, a detailed inspection of the bay controller module VDHM connector is required each time a module is removed or inserted.
NOTE This procedure will cause the module to power off/power on and rerun the boot process. To access the bay controller module, it is not necessary to remove the cooling module.
Step 1 Grasp the face of the air intake grill firmly by the air vents.

Step 2 Pull grill away from the chassis to release the two ball studs from the receptacles holding the assembly in place.
Step 3 Remove the grill and set it aside.
Step 4 Pull the ejectors on the bay controller module to the open position to release the latches on the bay controller module.
Step 5 Carefully pull the module out until the connectors at the back of the module are unseated from the backplane - about a half inch. Refer to Figure 7.

Step 6 Wait approximately 10 seconds for the module to cool.
Step 7 Fully remove module and set on a flat surface to inspect the module's VHDM connector. A detailed inspection of the VDHM connector is required each time a module is removed or inserted.
Step 8 Carefully inspect the VHDM connector for damage such as deformed sockets, holes between socket columns, and deformed guide fins on top and bottom of the socket columns
