Installing a Power Amplifier
This procedure explains how to install a Power Amplifier (PA) module.
Be sure you have read and understood Understanding the module installation process
on page 104 before
continuing.
Requirements
• ESD wrist strap
• Slotted screwdriver
WARNING
The PA weighs 22 pounds (10 kg). To avoid injury, use both
hands when handling. Hold the module handle with one hand and
place the other hand under the bottom module slide.
WRIST
STRAP
Wear an ESD strap and plug it into the ESD jack in the AIU when
handling modules or equipment damage can occur. See Figure 9
on page 18.

Ensure that you install the PA module into the proper slot (either
slot 1 top part, slot 5 top part, or slot 9 top part). Installation into a
slot reserved for a different module type can cause equipment
damage.
