Even when the FC is fully seated with installation screws fully tightened, there may be a slight gap
between the card and the chassis (item 3 in the above figure).
Do not apply excessive force to the FC to seat it. When seated, the FC ejector levers are angled
slightly outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in the following figure). When the captive installation
screws are fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in the following
figure). Some flexing in the midplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical,
the card is seated in the midplane connectors. However, when you release the levers, midplane
flexing pushes the levers out, so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation
screws prevents any additional movement from flexing of the midplane.
