QUICK OVERVIEW
Installing test modules in the ValkyrieBay chassis requires the following steps to be completed.
NOTE: A slightly different procedure is needed for the Odin-10G-1S-6P, Odin-10G-3S-6P-CU/n and +25GE
modules – see the end of the document for instructions.
1. Remove the top cover by unscrewing the two bolts at the back of the chassis.
2. Unscrew the restraining bars that holds the module in place
3. Choose which slot the module should sit in and unscrew the bracket
4. Slide the module into place and use the screw to secure it*
5. Position the restraining bars in place.
6. Screw the restraining bars tightly in place.
For Odin-10G-1S-6P and CFP cards - connect the power cable (see final section in this document)
* In August 2017 Xena improved the way test modules were mounted in the chassis by adding a plastic rail
attached with two screws to the test module. This rail ensures the test module is held very securely in place
when mounted in the chassis.
When transferring test modules with this plastic rail from a ValkyrieBay purchased after August 2017 to an
older ValkyrieBay, it is necessary to remove the plastic rail. This simply requires removing two screws.

Replace the top cover
The installation steps outlined above are described in detail below. Please refer to the relevant section.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS REMOVE LONG TEST MODULES BEFORE SHIPPING
To minimize the risk of damage, please remove “long” test modules before transportation. This includes any
test module(s) that extend past the metal restraining bar under the chassis lid.
Always use the original Xena boxes for shipping (including the polystyrene foam and anti-static bags).
