Port Covers on the VIM1-SummitStack512 Module
On the VIM1-SummitStack512 module, EMI-protective covers are installed over the port connectors.
Before connecting the stacking cables, remove the connector covers from the ports that will be used.
To remove a connector cover:
1 On the side of the connector nearest to the inserter/ejector lever, find the notch between the two end
tabs on the cover (see
Figure 121).
At the notch, set a small flat-blade screwdriver firmly against the connector housing.
Figure 121: Removing a Connector Cover
2 Brace the screwdriver against the module inserter/ejector lever and pry the end of the connector
cover loose.
3 Slide the cover off the connector.
Store the connector covers for later re-use if the switch will be operated without connecting these ports.
To ensure satisfactory protection from EMI, leave the covers on all ports that are not connected to another
VIM1-SummitStack512 module.
