Avoid over torquing the MPA captive screws when installing the MPA. Tighten the captive screws on the
MPA to a torque of 6 +/-0.5 inch-pound.
Note
4. To remove the MPA from the chassis, use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws
on the MPA. Ensure that you first loosen the right screw and then the left.

MPA.)
