Step 2 Open both the ejector levers on the new or replacement module completely.

Step 3 Position the module in the chassis as follows:

a.Position the module in the slot. Ensure that you align 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 contacts the module in the slot above it and both ejector levers close to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the front of the module. (See Figure 2-26.)

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.

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

d.While pressing down, simultaneously close the top and bottom ejector levers to completely seat the module in the midplane connector. The ejector levers are completely closed when they are flush with the front of the module.
