Removing the Card
To remove a card from the host module (Figure 2-3), complete the following steps:
Step
Action
1
Attach one end of an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and clip the other
end to a chassis ground (for example, a screw on the side of the chassis).
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage modules and electronic
components. DIGITAL recommends using a grounded antistatic wrist
strap and a grounded work surface when handling any modules.
2
Disconnect all cables from the card. Refer to the card’s documentation
for cable removal information.
3
Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws that
hold the card in place. The screws should be loose but still attached to
the card.
4
Grasp the captive screws and disconnect the card from the host module
by pulling on the screws.
5
Gently slide the card out of the slot.
6
Replace the dust caps on the card, if necessary.
7
Place the card into a static-proof bag.
8
If the slot is to be unused, reinstall the slot cover.
