Caution

for slot numbering).
Do not apply excessive force to the RP card to seat it. When seated, the RP card 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 backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers
fully vertical, the card is seated in the backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers,
backplane 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 backplane.
