a.
module carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the chassis slot.
b. Carefully slide the Ethernet module into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the
module faceplate makes contact with the module in the slot adjacent to it and both ejector levers
have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the Ethernet module faceplate. (See
Figure
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure
c.
to the left, deflecting the module approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) to create a small gap between
the module's EMI gasket and the module adjacent to it. (See
Caution Do not exert too much pressure on the ejector levers because they can bend and be damaged.
While gently pressing on the ejector levers, simultaneously close them to fully seat the Ethernet
d.
module in the chassis backplane connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush
with the Ethernet module faceplate. (See
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the Ethernet module.

Note
Verify that the Ethernet module STATUS LED is lit. Check the STATUS LED periodically. If the
f.
STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the boot
process and is now online. If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not
successfully completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
