Step 6
Pivot both card ejector levers so that the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the
card pass over the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Caution
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers may bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or
breaking one or both ejector levers.
Step 7
Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the
tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Note
Guide pins exist that make initial contact with the backplane connector as you slide a card into
its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing on the card carrier until the card
ejector levers begin pivoting forward, toward the handle in the card carrier.
Step 8
To seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward
the handle in the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
