Replacing a PCIe Adapter Card Inside the S3260 SIOC (Version 03 SIOC
Only)
The Version 03 SIOC uses a removable PCIe adapter card that plugs into a horizontal socket. (The
version 02 SIOC uses an embedded chip and so does not have a removable adapter card.)
Note
If your S3260 system has two Version 03 SIOCs, the adapter card in each must be identical. Do not mix
adapter cards between Version 03 SIOCs.
Step 1
Power off the server node that is paired with the SIOC that you are removing (SIOC 1 is paired with
server node1; SIOC 2 is paired with server node 2). See
Shutting Down an Individual Server Node,
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 (SIOC) Cover, page 3-13
.
Step 4
Remove an existing adapter card:
a.
Remove the SIOC side panel that is closest to the adapter card. Turn the SIOC upside down and
remove the three screws that secure the side panel from the underside of the SIOC.
b.
Turn the SIOC over.
c.
Slide the adapter card horizontally to disconnect its edge connector from the socket.
Step 5
Install a new adapter card:
a.
Set the card in place on the SIOC floor. Align the card’s edge connector with the socket.
b.
Gently slide the card into the socket, pushing evenly on both ends of the card. Stop when the card
is fully in the socket and its rear-panel tab sits flat.
c.
Return the side panel to the SIOC. Set the side panel in place so that its edge sits
on top of
the SIOC
floor and its three screw holes align with those on the SIOC.
d.
Turn the SIOC upside down and install the three screws that secure the side panel.
Step 6
Turn the SIOC over and reinstall the SIOC cover. Install the six screws that secure the cover.
Step 7
Replace the SIOC to the system:
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
Power on the server node that you powered off earlier.
