Step 2
Using your fingers, pinch the interior end of both handles to disengage the ejector latch.

Step 3
Keeping the modules handles level, pull them towards you so that they arc away from the chassis.
You might feel some resistance as the IFM disconnects from the socket inside the chassis.
Step 4
Slide the module about halfway out of the chassis, then place your other hand underneath the IFM to support it.
Step 5
Continue sliding the IFM out of the chassis until it is completely removed.
