Removing the System I/O Controller (SIOC) Cover
Note
You do not have to slide the system out of the rack to remove the SIOC from the rear of the system.
Step 1
Power off the server node that is paired with the SIOC that you are replacing (SIOC 1 is paired with
server node1; SIOC 2 is paired with server node 2).
Step 2
Remove the SIOC from the system:
a.
Loosen the single captive thumbscrew on the SIOC and then open its two hinged levers to evenly
disengage the SIOC from its backplane connector.
b.
Pull the SIOC from the system and set it on an antistatic work surface.
Step 3
Remove the SIOC cover:
a.
Use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the cover. The version 02 SIOC
cover has four securing screws. The Version 03 SIOC cover has six securing screws. See
or
b.
Lift the cover straight up off the SIOC.
Step 4
Reinstall the SIOC cover:
a.
Set the cover back in place.
b.
Replace the four screws that secure the cover.
Step 5
Reinstall the SIOC in 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 midplane.
c.
Tighten the thumbscrew on the SIOC levers.
