Installing the Module

Step 3 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules installed in the chassis.

This action ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening

space for the replacement module.

Note If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push

adjacent modules toward the open slot, reducing the opening size and making it difficult to

install the replacement module.

Step 4 Remove the module filler panel by removing the two Phillips pan-head screws from the filler panel. (To

remove a module, refer to the “Removing the Module” section on page 11.)

Step 5 Fully open both ejector levers on the new or replacement module. (See Figure 2.)
