Unpack The Product - HP TippingPoint Series Hardware Installation And Safety Manual

If you remove a card or module and replace it with the same type of card or module, the system resumes
operation without any operator intervention.
• Do not force the card or module into its slot. This can damage the pins on the backplane if they are not
aligned properly with the card or module.
• Ensure that the card or module is straight and not at an angle when you install it in the slot, which can
damage the equipment. Use the guide rails to install the card or module correctly.
• Fully depress the ejector tabs to ensure that the card connector mates with the backplane correctly.
Firmly seat the card in the slot by locking the card with the black levers.
