Installing and Removing the NAM Caution Always use the ejector levers when installing or removing the NAM. A module that is partially seated in the backplane will cause the system to halt and subsequently crash. Step 8 Keep the NAM at a 90-degree orientation to the backplane (horizontal to the floor), and carefully slide the module into the slot until the notches on both ejector levers engage the chassis sides. Step 9 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, simultaneously pivot both eje
