The insert/eject handles on CompactPCI™ cards help users to install and remove the cards easily and safely. Follow the procedures below to install a card into a chassis:
To install a card
1.Hold the card vertically. Be sure that the card is oriented correctly. The components of the card should be pointing to the right side.
2.Be sure that the handles of the card are not latched. Release the handles if they are latched. Handles from different vendors may have different latch designs.
Caution: Keep your fingers away from the latch hinges to prevent your fingers from getting pinched.
3.Insert the card into the chassis by sliding the edges of the card into the card guides.
4.Push the card into the slot gently by sliding the card along the card guide until the handles meet the rectangular holes of the cross rails. 1 2
Note: If the card is correctly positioned and has been slid all the way into the chassis, the handles should match the rectangular holes. If not, remove the card from the card guide and repeat step 3 again. Do not try to install a card by forcing it into the chassis.
5.Flip the handles out, and then push the card into position. The handles will click back into a horizontal position when the card is secure in the enclosure.
6.Secure the card by locking the handles into place.
To remove a card
1.Unscrew the screws on the front panel of the card. Release the locking latches on the handles.
2.Push the red buttons on the up and down handles to release the card from the backplane.
3.Slide the card out.
