Remove a card
Follow these steps to remove a card:
1) Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and loosen the captive screws on the card with a screwdriver
(see callout
①
in
Figure 5-2
).
2) Hold the ejector levers on the card with both hands and press them outward to separate the
connectors of the card from the backplane (see callout
in
②
Figure 5-2
).
3) Pull part of the card out along the guide rails slowly, then hold the card bottom with one hand (do
not touch its circuit) and pull it out of the chassis with the other hand (see callout
in
③
Figure 5-2
).
If you are not going to install a new card after removing a card, install a blank panel on the slot for the
dust-proof purpose.
Installing a Card
Install a card in the opposite way you remove it:
1) Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap and loosen the captive screws on the blank panel on the slot,
where the card should be inserted.
2) Hold the card by the front panel with one hand and hold the card bottom with the other hand (do not
touch its circuit). Slide the card steadily into the slot along the guide rails. When most part of the
card is inserted in the slot, press the ejector levers on the card outward with both hands. Then,
push the card until the positioning pin on its handle bar touches the hole on the chassis.
3) Press the ejector levers inward until the ejector levers touch the panel tightly and the card snaps
into the backplane.
