Step 5 Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from the faceplate to release the RP card from the backplane
connectors.
Step 6 Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 90 degrees away from the front
edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane connector.
Step 7 Grasp the ejector levers with both hands and gently pull the RP card halfway from the slot.
Step 8
Move one hand under the RP card to guide it. Avoid touching the RP card printed circuit board, components,
or any connector pins.
Step 9 Touching only the metal card carrier, slide the card from the slot and place it directly into an antistatic sack
or other ESD-preventive container. If you plan to return a defective card to the factory, repackage it in the
shipping container that you received with the replacement card.
