Step 2 Remove screws from the system board near the AIM connector that you are going to use—screws labeled A in Figure 7
are present in all chassis; screws labeled B are present in all chassis except Cisco 2600 series chassis of 1-RU height.
The screws in a Cisco 3660 router require use of a Torx-15 screwdriver.

Step 3 Install the two metal standoffs (from the appropriate mounting kit) in place of the two screws labeled A in Figure 7.
Make sure that the screw threads on the standoffs match the screws that you removed in Step 2. Hand tighten with a
1/4-inch nut driver. (See Figure 9.).
Caution Make sure that the standoffs are installed straight. Tighten them gently but firmly. The shoulder must be seated
tight against the system board.
Step 4 Install the threaded or snap-in plastic standoff (from the appropriate mounting kit) in the system board.
Note There are two types of plastic standoffs used with compression AIMs: locking-end standoffs and threaded-end
standoffs. Figure 8 shows the two types of plastic standoffs used with compression AIMs. The plastic standoff with the
locking end snaps into the system board. The plastic standoff with the threaded end screws into the system board. Be
sure to insert the locking end of the standoff into the system board, or screw in the threaded end until standoff is firmly
seated. The locking end and threaded end is the shortest end of the standoff.
If the plastic standoff is threaded, install it in place of the screw labeled B in Figure 7. Tighten it firmly using your
fingers, or very carefully using a 3/16-inch open-end wrench. (See Figure 9.)
If the plastic standoff is the snap-in type, press it firmly into the nonthreaded hole in the system board to be sure it is
locked to the board.
