To remove and replace an adapter, do the following steps:
1.
Determine the location of the PCI adapter in the system.
2.
Record the slot number and location of each adapter being removed. Adapter slots are numbered on
the rear of the system unit.
3.
Ensure that any processes or applications that might use the adapter are stopped.
4.
Run the drslot_chrp_pci command to enable an adapter to be replaced:
For example, to replace the PCI adapter in slot U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C3 run this command:
drslot_chrp_pci -R -s U7879.001.DQD014E-P1-C3
Follow the instructions on the display to complete the task.

Lift up on the PCI adapter EMC shield

as shown in Figure 25 and then rotate it up and away
from the cassette as shown in Figure 26 on page 39.
