Replacing a 16–port card or filler panel
Attention: Do not force the installation. If the 16–port card or filler panel does not
slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly aligned inside the rail guides before you
continue.
Perform the following steps to replace a 16–port card or filler panel:
1. Orient the 16–port card or filler panel so that the ejectors are at the front of the
chassis and the flat side of the 16–port card or filler panel is on the left.
2. Align the flat side of the 16–port card or filler panel inside the upper rail guides
and the lower rail guides in the slot. See Figure 35 on page 63. Slide the
16–port card or filler panel into the slot, with slight pressure to the left, until it is
firmly seated.
3. Close the ejectors by rotating the black handles toward the center of the
16–port card or filler panel until the ejectors lock. You will hear a slight audible
click. The levering action of the handles seats the 16–port card or filler panel in
the slot.
Figure 35 on page 63 shows the alignment guides in the card slots.
