Avoiding Problems When Inserting and Removing Modules
The ejector levers on the supervisor engine align and seat the supervisor engine connectors in the
backplane. See Figure 1. If you fail to use the ejector levers to insert the supervisor engine, you can
disrupt the order in which the pins make contact with the backplane. When removing a supervisor
engine, use the ejector levers to ensure that the supervisor engine connector pins disconnect from the
backplane properly. Any supervisor engine that is only partially connected to the backplane can
disrupt the system.
