Complete the following steps to install a C Series I/O module in the chassis.

  1. Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. If the system is in a nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on when you install I/O modules.
  2. Align the I/O module with an I/O module slot in the chassis. The module slots are labeled 1 to 8, left to right.
