Replacing an Adapter Card Inside the SIOC
The adapter card inside the system I/O controller (SIOC) provides rear-panel connectivity to the system.
You can have two different types of adapter card in the same system.
Step 1
Shut down and remove power from the entire system, as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off
the System, page 3-9 .
Step 2 Remove the SIOC from the system:
a.
Loosen the single captive thumbscrew on the SIOC and then open its two hinged ejector levers to
evenly disengage the SIOC from its midplane connector.
b. Pull the SIOC from the system.
Step 3
Remove the SIOC cover as described in Removing the System I/O Controller Cover, page 3-14 .
Step 4 Remove an existing adapter card:
a.
Loosen the single captive thumbscrew that secures the adapter card to the SIOC.
b. Slide the adapter card horizontally to disengage it from its socket on the SIOC board.
c.
Lift the adapter card up and out of the SIOC.
Step 5 Install a new adapter card:
a.
Set the new adapter card on the floor of the SIOC so that its connector edge is aligned with the socket
and the thumbscrew is facing up.
b. Slide the adapter card horizontally to fully engage its connector edge with the socket.
c.
Tighten the captive thumbscrew on the adapter card to secure it to the SIOC.
Step 6 Replace the cover to the SIOC.
Step 7
Replace the SIOC to the system:
Note
If you have only one SIOC, it must be in SIOC bay 1 (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-2 ).
a.
Push the SIOC into its bay until it stops against the internal midplane.
b.
Close the two levers on the SIOC to fully engage the SIOC connector with its backplane.
c.
Tighten the thumbscrew on the SIOC levers.
Step 8 Replace power cords and then power on the system by pressing and holding the power button on the front
handle for four seconds.
