1.Open the injector levers on your board (see Recognize Different Injector/Ejector Lever Types on page 49).

2.Verify the proper slot for the module you are inserting (see Verify Slot Usage on page 50). Align the edges of the module with the card cage rail guides in the appropriate slot. Insert the board by holding the injector levers, do not exert unnecessary pressure on the face plate.

3.Using your thumbs, apply equal and steady pressure as necessary to carefully slide the module into the card cage rail guides (Stage 1). Continue to gently push until the prealignment guide pegs engage with the backplane connector (Stage 2) and the injector levers make contact with the chassis rails. Do not force the board into the backplane slot.

4.Use the injector levers to seat the module in the slot by closing the levers until they latch into the locked position (Stage 3). If the levers do not completely latch, remove the module from the chassis and visually inspect the slot to ensure there are no bent pins.

5.When the module you are installing is completely latched, secure it by tightening the captive screws at both ends of the face plate.

This section describes a recommended procedure for removing a board module from a chassis.
