To remove an existing switch controller or bandwidth expander:

Loosen the controller’s or expander’s two Phillips screws until they
disengage from the chassis.

Move the controller or expander ejector levers to the unlocked position (see
Figure 1 on page -5).

Slide the controller or expander out of the chassis, keeping the card in a
straight alignment so that it doesn’t jam.

5.

Insert the new bandwidth expander

Make sure the expander’s metal back-panel is aligned with the card guides
(see Figure 2 on page -5).

With the ejector levers in the unlocked position (see Figure 1 on page -5),
carefully slide the expander into the chassis.

When inserting a bandwidth expander, take care to slide the expander’s metal
back-panel along both guides at an equal rate. If an expander becomes tight, it
must not be forced. Instead, gently withdraw the expander and try again, taking
extra care to keep the expander aligned with the card guides. Forcing a
misaligned or jammed bandwidth expander is likely to damage the expander or
chassis.

The ejectors’ locking mechanisms should align with their slots in the
chassis (see Figure 3 on page -6).
