Abstract
A field-replaceable unit (FRU) includes an ejector component that is to facilitate removal of the FRU from a network system chassis, a knob that is connected to the ejector component, and a knob adjustment prevention apparatus. The knob adjustment prevention apparatus includes a mounting component and a guard component. The mounting component is attached to a frame of the FRU. The guard component is connected to the mounting component and is to move between a closed position and one or more open positions. The guard component, when positioned in the closed position, surrounds the knob to prevent physical adjustment of the knob. This prevents activation of the ejector component, and thereby prevents removal of the FRU from the network system chassis, such as when the FRU is operating.
