Install an LTE Pluggable Module


Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the chassis of this equipment needs to be connected to permanent earth ground during normal use Statement 445

Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029.

Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

To insert the Micro-SIM cards into the LTE Pluggable module:

  1. Place the router on its bottom side, remove the screws and then the Micro-SIM cover from the pluggable module.

  2. Push in each Micro-SIM card into the slot until it clicks.

  3. Secure the Micro-SIM cover with a screw. The recommended torque is 2.8 - 3.8 inch LBF.

You have now successfully inserted the Micro-SIM cards into the LTE pluggable module.
