Hold the handle as you slowly slide the module into the chassis
until the handle catches on the injector/ejector rail.

the backplane receptacle connectors. The front panel of the
PXI MXI-3 card should be even with the front panel of the chassis.

Tighten the bracket-retaining screws on the top and bottom of the
front panel to secure the PXI MXI-3 card to the chassis.

Check the installation.
