3. Replace the eight M3 Torx screws and tighten them to the correct
torque.
Important Do not exceed 4.5in-lbs of torque; greater torque settings
may damage the PCB. Inadequately tight screws can affect
the EMC properties of the board.
4. Position the bridge board above the sockets and the right way round.
Press it into place.
5. Carefully reconnect the flexible connector as shown in Figure 1.2. (If
required, fit a new flexible cable. It must be correctly formed to
prevent excessive stress on the cable or the connector.) Make sure that
the cable is properly located before pressing the latch down.
6. Reconnect the 1 PPS coaxial cable.
7. Replace the rear panel and the reciter cover. Tighten the Torx screws
to the correct torque. Inadequately tight screws can affect the EMC
properties of the board.
8. Return the faulty board to Tait.
