Step 10Depending on the orientation of the slots in the chassis (horizontal or vertical), perform one of the 
following two sets of steps:
Chassis with horizontal slots
a.Position the new module in the slot. (See Figure 3-1.) Make sure that you align the sides of the 
module carrier with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot....

c.Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and gently press down to 
create a small 0.040 inch (1 mm) gap between the module’s EMI gasket and the module or cover 
plate above it. (See Figure 3-2.)
NoteDo not press down too forcefully on the levers because they will bend and get damaged.

f.Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit. 
g.Periodically check the STATUS LED:
If the 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...

c.
Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, grasp the two ejector levers and exert a slight pressure 
to the left, deflecting the module approximately 0.040 inches (1 mm) creating a small gap between 
the module’s EMI gasket and the module or cover plate adjacent to it. (See...
