36 Keysight M8000 Series of BER Test Solutions Installation Guide
2 Installing Modules
 
2 Locate the module insertion/extraction handles at both ends of the 
instrument module. Extend the ends of both handles by pulling them 
inwards towards each other. Then fully open the handles by pivoting 
them out towards you.
3 Align the module’s PCA board with the guide rails on both ends of the 
M9505A AXIe chassis. If the module has metal plates covering the 
board, be sure to insert the PCA board and not the metal plates into 
the rails.
4 Push the module into the chassis slot until the leading edges of the 
insertion/extraction latches rest against the front surface of the 
chassis. The insertion/extraction latch handles should be 
perpendicular to the front surface of the chassis (aligned with the 
direction of module insertion). Nudge the module gently inward to 
allow the latches to engage.
5 Using your thumbs, press inward firmly on the insertion/extraction 
handles until the module is seated firmly in the chassis backplane. The 
module front panel should lie flush with the chassis front panel.
6 Push the handle ends towards the edge of the chassis to tuck them 
away.
7 Tighten the retaining screws on either end of the module to ensure the 
ground connection.

8 Locate the synchronization cable that was shipped with the M8051A 
module as shown in 
Figure 20 on page -36.
