Important notice about apparent module failure
To prevent apparent failures of properly functioning modules after you install the
modules in a chassis, make sure you securely tighten all the module retaining
screws to ensure a good connection between the module and the backplane.
If a module failure occurs, check for possible backplane connection problems as a
cause. Make sure the module is correctly seated in the backplane connector and
the retaining screws are securely tightened. If the module still fails to operate,
contact Nortel Networks
