12.2.1 Types of maintenance
Table 12-1 lists the types of maintenance for the PCIe cards. For the definition of
maintenance, see " 4.3 Understanding Types of Maintenance ."
12.2.2 Flow of maintenance
Table 12-2 lists the sequence of the maintenance procedure for PCIe cards. See the
corresponding section and item.
The procedure for PCIe card expansion is the same as that for installation. The
procedure for PCIe card reduction is the same as that for removal.
12.2.3 Precautions for replacement
Note the following points when replacing PCIe cards.
■
When replacing the PCIe card, stop the system and remove the PCIe riser from the
motherboard unit.
12.2.4 Precautions for expansion
Note the following points when performing PCIe card expansion.
■
If you are expanding a PCIe card, remove the PCIe card filler from the PCIe riser.
The PCIe card filler is easily removed. Be careful not to drop it.
■
Keep the removed PCIe card filler because it will be needed if a PCIe card is
subsequently reduced.
