Do not remove or re-seat the ribbon cable connections on 
the Hub48 Board while the board is installed in the Mix 
Rack. This may cause excessive flexing of the Hub48 
Board. If necessary, disconnect the Hub48 and all Expan-
sion Card ribbon connections, and remove the entire assem-
bly from the rack prior to changing connections.
