To install a module in slot 2 of the chassis, follow these steps:
Step1 Verify that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment
that you connect directly to the nearby components.
Step2 If a filler panel is installed, remove the two Phillips pan-head screws from the
filler panel and remove the panel. To remove a currently i nstalled modul e, see the
“Removing and Installing Switching and Services Modules” section on
page 2-22.
Step3 Open fully both ejector levers on the new or replacement module (see Figure2-9
on page 2-23).
Step4 Position the module in the chassis as follows:
a. Position the module in the slot, aligning the sides of the module carrier with
the slot guides on each side of the slot.
b. Slide the module carefully into the slot until the EMI gasket along the top
edge of the module makes contact with the supervisor module above it and
both ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to
the module faceplate (see Figure 2-10 on page 2-24).
c. Grasp the two ejector levers using the thumb and forefinger of each hand and
press down to create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module's
EMI gasket and the module above it (see Figure2-11).

Caution Do not press down too forcefully on the levers because they can bend.
