these steps:
a) Disconnect and label the following cables from the module:
• Console cable
• Ethernet Management cable
b) If there are any external drives that are attached to the module through its USB ports, detach those drives.
c) Slide the middle section of the ejector handle toward the end of the handle and rotate the handle away from the front
of the module. See Callouts 1 and 2 in the following figure.
The module unseats its connectors from the midplane and moves slightly out of the chassis.
