When the DPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles,
bus bars, or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.
Do not stack DPC on top of one another after removal. Place each one

stable surface.

Place one hand around the front of the FPC and the other hand under it to support it.
5.
Slide the FPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in
the electrostatic bag.
CAUTION:
The weight of the FPC is concentrated in the back end. Be
prepared to accept the full weight—up to 18 lb (8.2 kg)—as you slide the
FPC out of the chassis.
When the FPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles,
