the ejector levers and then pulling the ejector levers simultaneously until they are in the open position.

Pull the card by the card levers until it is out of the slot. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and
connector pins.

If you are not replacing the card immediately, install a blank panel.
Warning: Do not remove a panel blank unless you are ready to install a line card into that slot.
After removing a line card, immediately place a panel blank in the empty slot. Blanks are required
to control airflow and electromagnetic interference.
