5. Physically insert the new module into the same slot:
a. Gently insert the module into the empty slot, aligning the module with the rails in
the slot in the following module orientation, depending on whether you are
inserting it in the top- or bottom-row slots:
♦ Top-row slots: Ensure that the module is orientated such that the port-
number labels are located at the bottom of the module's front panel. This
module orientation is considered as facing up.
