[nsp] 7500 insertion force

I recently got a 7507 chassis.

It takes a huge amount of force to seat cards in certain slots. One
problem I noticed is that if I have a VIP in Slot 1 and try to put an RSP
in Slot 2, I can't. I have to pull the VIP card first, then put the RSP
card in, then the VIP card can go in. In other words, the order you put
cards in the chassis is important for some reason. It's as though the
chassis has an alignment problem of some kind.

Is this just how this beast works?  Seems wild to have to take down an 
entire VIP to hotswap an RSP.
