3 Squeeze the release latch on each injector/ejector handle and rotate both handles outward to
disconnect the module from the chassis backplane (see Figure 112).
To prevent ESD damage, hold the module by the metal panel edges only. Never touch the components on the
PCB or the pins on any of the connectors.
4 Slide the module out of the chassis slot.
5 Place the module into the anti-static bag to protect it from potential ESD damage. The bag will also
prevent dust from collecting on the module connectors.
6 If you are not going to install a replacement module, install a blank front panel. To install a
replacement module, follow the installation procedure starting on page 175.
Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you
need to touch ESD-sensitive components.
