Removing the SSM3 Module

The following procedure describes how to remove the SSM3 module located on the Acme Packet NIU card.

Prerequisites:

• Provide an ESD-safe location to place the SSM3 and NIU card.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap or take similar equivalent actions to prevent static damage to the NIU card or other ESD-sensitive components.
• Note the location of the SSM3 module connector on the NIU card.
• #2 Phillips screwdriver

  To remove the SSM3 module:

1. Remove the NIU card as directed in this document.
2. Place the NIU card on an ESD-safe mat or other similar location.
3. Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the four standoff screws from the SSM3 module and store them for later reuse.
4. To remove the module (shown below), grasp the SSM3 module along either side of the connector between your thumb and index finger and pull up on one side of the connector until the module is fully disconnected from the connector. Place the module on an ESD-safe surface.
