Step 1
If possible, take the Ethernet gateway offline. For more details, see the
shutdown
command in the

Properly ground yourself to avoid potential ESD discharge and damage to the Ethernet gateway card.
Step 3
Facing the data connection end of the Cisco SFS 3504 Server Switch, pull both levers of the Ethernet
gateway module simultaneously towards you and all the way out.
The levers should automatically lift the securing spring locks as you begin to pull them outward.
