Removing the PCI riser-card assembly
To remove a PCI riser-card assembly, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 39.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
Note:
When you disconnect the power source from the server, you will lose the
ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs will not be lit with the power source
removed. Before disconnecting the power source, make a note of which LEDs
are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, the
EasyLED panel, and LEDs that are lit inside the server on the system board;
then, see “EasyLED” on page 157 for information on how to solve the problem.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing and replacing the cover” on page 43).
4. If an adapter is installed in the riser-card assembly, disconnect any cables that
are connected to the adapter.
5. Grasp the rear of the riser-card assembly from the rear and lift it out of the PCI
riser-card slot on the system board.
