d) Rotate the ends of the two levers toward the center of the chassis.
When the levers point straight out from the chassis, their other ends should be locked onto the brackets on the side
of the chassis.
As you rotate the levers, the front of the module moves all the way to the front of the chassis and the module fully
seats on the midplane of the chassis.
e) Attach each interface cable to the appropriate port on the I/O module. Use the label on each cable to determine which
port each cable attaches to.
f) Verify that the I/O module LEDs turn on and appear as follows:
•
The Status (STS) LED turns on and becomes green.
•
For each connected port, the port LED turns on and becomes green or amber.
