Codec module removal
Access the codec module from the rear
panel. Remove as illustrated.
Note: With a firm grip on the
metal (EMI) bracket, ensure the board is level and parallel to the card guides
to avoid damage to the components on the edge opposite the rear panel.
Improper handling can
damage components on the board. Do not allow the board to come in contact with
the chassis sheet metal during removal or installation. The components on the
edge opposite the rear panel are the most susceptible to damage.
Before installing, inspect the codec module chamber and make sure no cables are protruding into the path of the codec module.
You must also remove any codec option (mezzanine) cards from the faulty codec module and install them on the replacement codec module.
