All VMG modules use ejector handles, which are located at opposite ends of the faceplates
Handling the ejector handles on a live system results in the following behaviors:
Activity at the Hot Swap LED, which lets you know when it's safe to remove the card, when opening
•
the ejector handles.
LED indications on the card faceplate when replacing the card, which informs if the card is
•
operating properly.

Removing VMG Modules from a Live System
Be sure to have the replacement card or the filler card available whenever removing a card from a live
system. You should re-populate the slot as soon as possible after removing a card from it.
1. Unscrew the two thumb screws at both sides of the module faceplate.
2. While holding both ejector handles, slowly and simultaneously unlatch them until the Hot Swap
(blue) LED begins blinking.
3. Wait until the Hot Swap LED stops blinking and becomes solid blue. It is now safe to remove the
card.
4. With both ejector handles fully extended, hold onto each and pull to guide the module out and
away from the chassis.
Note:
It is not advisable to grasp the faceplate when pulling the card from the slot. Always use the
ejector handles.
