and slide the card along the card guide until the ejectors on either side of the module move

NOTE
When inserting the module into the chassis, make sure that the faceplate doesnot overlap with
the faceplate of an adjacent interface module.

Populating a BigIron RX-16 chassis
The sequence for installing more than one card is important to ensure proper fit in the BigIron
RX-16 chassis. Always fill the bottom slots in the BigIron RX-16 first. Begin by filling the slots from
the left side of the chassis, and working your way towards the right. Refer to
“BigIron RX-16
chassis” on page 4 for slot locations.
NOTE
Any empty slots must contain slot blanks to ensure proper air flow within the chassis.
