  • Note the installation location of the SSM3 module on the NIU PCB.
  • Ground yourself and follow proper ESD grounding procedures.
  • Remove the SSM3 from the shipped packaging.
  • Install the SSM3 according to the procedure below.
  • This upgrade should be performed during low-traffic periods or during times of scheduled maintenance.
  • Follow industry-standard procedures to ensure ESD protection.
  • When installing or removing an NIU card, move the card to an ESD-safe location.
