Recognize Different Injector/Ejector Lever Types

The modules you install may have different ejector handles and latching mechanisms. The following illustration shows the typical board ejector handles used with ECC payload cards: (A) Elma Latching, (B) Rittal Type II, (C) Rittal Type IV. All handles are compliant with the CompactPCI specification and are designed to meet the IEEE1101.10 standards.

Each lever type has a latching mechanism to prevent the lever from being opened accidentally. You must press the lever release before you can open the lever. Never force the lever. If the lever does not open easily, you may not have pressed firmly enough on the release. If the lever does not close easily, the board may not be properly seated in the chassis.

To open a lever, press the release and move the lever outward away from the faceplate.

To close a lever, move the lever inward toward the faceplate until the latch engages.

Verify Slot Usage

Prevent possible damage to module components by verifying the proper slot usage for

!your configuration.
