chassis. Slide the module into the slot until it is fully inserted.
9. Latch the module in place by pulling up on the ejector handle.
10. Secure the module front panel to the chassis using the front-panel mounting
screws.
Note
Tightening the top and bottom mounting screws increases
mechanical stability and also electrically connects the front panel to
the chassis, which can improve the signal quality and
electromagnetic performance.
11. Cover all empty slots using either filler panels (standard or EMC) or slot
blockers with filler panels, depending on your application.
