Figure 4 shows the ejector levers and captive installation screws on a typical interface processor. To
remove an interface processor, loosen the captive screws and pull the ejector levers to the sides; then
pull the module out using the handle. To insert an interface processor, reverse the process, making
sure to firmly seat the interface processor in its connectors on the backplane. For detailed directions,
follow the procedures in "Removing the SP or SSP" and "Replacing an SSP in the Chassis."
Caution
backplane connectors on the card are fully seated in, or fully ejected from, the backplane. Failure to
use the ejector levers could result in a partial backplane connection, which can hang the system.
The captive installation screws on the ends (see Figure 4) of each faceplate, when tightened, provide
electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and also help ensure proper seating in the backplane.
After using the ejector levers to install an SSP, tighten the captive installation screws to prevent the
SSP from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane. These screws must be tightened to meet
EMI specifications.
