VPM
To replace a VPM:
1. Pull the release latches away from the VPM at both ends so that the VPM springs up from the slot.
2. Holding the non-conductive edge, remove the VPM.
Keep the removed VPM for future use.
3. Align the polarization notch of a new VPM with the VPM slot on the main board and insert it into
the slot along the slide rails.
4. Carefully and firmly press the VPM at both ends until you hear a click. This indicates the VPM is
seated in the slot.
5. Verify that the release latches have firmly locked the VPM in position.
