NPC installation and removal hardware
  • Screws, lever release latches, and ejector levers used to install and remove a version 1 NPC card. The lever release latches on each side slides upward to release the levers used to eject the card from the chassis. The left release latch has a micro-switch that powers off the card as soon as it is moved upward to unlock the ejector lever. Only move this latch if you intend to remove the card.
  • Screws and levers used to install and remove a version 2 NPC. With this version, there are thumb screws and double-lever release latches on each side of the card. Each inner lever contains a micro-switch and when you simultaneously pull both inner levers outward to release the outer ejector levers, the NPC will power off. Only move these levers if you intend to remove the card.
