The card may contain different types of ejection levers. For example,

To Install the Rear-Access Front Card
After installing the rear transition card, you can install the front card.
1. Walk to the front of the server.
2. Confirm or reattach your wrist strap to the system’s chassis and to your wrist.
If necessary, remove the strap from the rear of the chassis and attach it to the front of
the chassis.
3. Locate the slot where you plan to install the front card.
Caution – This card must be installed in the front CompactPCI slot that is directly
associated with the rear slot where you installed the rear transition card. If you
install the card in a different slot, the system may panic.
For example, if you installed the rear transition card into the rear slot 3, you must
install the front card into the front slot 3. See “Selecting a CompactPCI Slot Pair in
the System” on page 9 for more information.
