Caution
Insert the board by holding the ejector lever—do not exert unnecessary
pressure on the faceplate.
You can remove hot-swap modules without removing the system's power.
Depending on your platform configuration, the modules you install may
have different ejector handles and latching mechanisms. The following
illustration shows the typical board ejector handles used with the MXP
platform. A: Elma Latching, B: Rittal Type II, C: Rittal Type IV.
All handles are compliant with the CompactPCI specification and are
designed to meet the IEEE1101.10 standards.
To reduce the risk of pin damage, refer to the following illustration and
perform these steps when installing modules.
Note
The following illustration may not represent the exact board you
