c.Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure to the left, deflecting the module approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) creating a small gap between the module’s EMI gasket and the module or cover plate adjacent to it. (See Figure 3-5.)

Note Do not exert too much pressure on the ejector levers because they will bend and get damaged.

d.While gently pressing down on the ejector levers, simultaneously close both levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate. (See Figure 3-6.)
