Today I got the same with ASR 9922, when I pull out the air filter in front of the chassis, it may touch the ejector and cause the SFC3 card to go down. The Syslog shows the card shutting down because the ejector is pressed:

Can I consider that a bug or just how Cisco hardware works, it's kind of dangerous
