Slide the board to the right until it stops. Do not pull on any 
components on the board – grasp only on the edges of the board. 
See letter “B” in the figure.

Lift the backplane from the chassis. The holes in the backplane will 
slide from the matching pins in the chassis. If any of the pins 
catches on the holes, it means you have not slid the board fully to 
the right. See letter “C” in the figure.
