Return the failed control module in the packaging in which the replacement 
module was shipped. Contact your PS Series support provider for information 
about returning hardware.
Installing a Control Module
You can install a control module without shutting down the array. 
Caution: Do not mix control module types in an array. 
Before installing a control module, make sure the firmware on the control module 
matches the firmware running on the functioning control module. See 
Maintaining Control Module Firmware on page 3-4. 
Control modules are installed vertically in the array, with the latch mechanism 
facing the adjacent power supply and cooling module. See Figure 3-8. 
Figure 3-8: Correct Control Module Orientation
Caution: Wear electrostatic protection when handling a control module. See 
Using an Electrostatic Wrist Strap on page 1-5.
To install a control module:
1. Open the control module latches by squeezing together the release mechanism 
for each latch and then rotating each latch outwards. See Figure 3-6. 
2. Correctly orient the control module with the latch mechanism facing the 
adjacent power supply and cooling module. 
3. Hold the latches and slide the control module into the slot until you feel 
resistance. 
4. Rotate each latch inward, while pushing the control module completely into 
the slot. The latches will snap into place (Figure 3-9).
