d) Place one hand under the fabric card to support its weight, place your other hand on the front of the module,
and slide the module out of the slot.

module using the captive screw on the back of the handle. Tighten the screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m) of torque.

Procedure
Step 1 Unscrew the two captive screws (one on each ejector handle) and rotate the ejector handles at least 30 degrees.
Ensure that the locking posts on the top and bottom of the chassis rotate into the module so that the module
can slide fully into the slot.
Step 2
Place one hand on the front of the module and turn the module 90 degrees so that the electrical connectors
are on the bottom.
Step 3
Fit the guide rails on the top of the module into the track on the top of the slot and make sure that the guide
bar on the bottom of the module goes into the module guide at the bottom of the slot.
Note The lower guide rail extends to the back of the chassis. The upper guide rail does not connect until
the card is halfway into the chassis.
