lie flat, and then pull the blank plate straight out of the board slot opening .
Or
Current board – Push out on the board’s extractor handles until they lie flat.
With the handles in the flat position, carefully pull the board straight out of
the board slot (see Figure 16). Place the board in an ESD approved static
shield bag.
2. Line up the new board on the board guides that are along the sides of the
board slot. With the board’s extractor handles in the flat position, carefully
push the board firmly into the slot (see Figure 16).

point, flip the extractor handles toward the center of the board into the closed
position to snap the board into place.

(see page 9-3).
