Removing and Replacing PCI Cards
203
WARNING
Ensure that the server is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server before removing or replacing a PCI card.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Carefully read the following information concerning PCI slot configuration. Inserting a PCI card into a slot
that is not configured to accept it, can cause operation failure or the PCI card to operate at less than optimum
speed. PCI slots are numbered 1 through 4. See the labels on the rear panel of the chassis for correct PCI slot
number identification.
Removing a PCI or Graphics Card
To remove a PCI card from the server, follow these steps:
CAUTION
Record the location of all PCI cards as they are installed. Depending on the operating system,
replacing the PCI card in a different location might cause boot failure.
Step 1.
Remove the PCI card cage. (See “Removing the PCI Card Cage” on page 200.)
Step 2.
Disconnect any cables that are connected to the PCI card.
Step 3.
Unscrew the bulkhead screw and remove the card holder (if necessary) to enable insertion of the
card.
Step 4.
Grasp the edges of the PCI card being removed and gently rock the card releasing the connector
from the PCI backplane connector. Place the removed PCI card in an electrostatic container.
