16. Grasp each end of the removal sling located toward the back of the system chassis. Slowly lift up the
back end of the PCI riser card. You may need to rock the sling back and forth several times to aid in
the removal of the PCI riser card connectors from their docking connectors located on the CEC
backplane. As the connectors begin to separate, grasp the front end of the PCI riser card and pull it
up and out of the system. Put the PCI riser card in a safe place.
Notes:
a. The PCI riser card may require up to 60 pounds of pulling force to free it from the docking
connectors. Depending on the system drawer’s location in the rack, it is strongly recommended
that the system drawer be removed from the rack to perform the PCI riser card removal and
replacement procedures.
b. When placing the Model 6E4 on its side, ensure that the stabilizer foot closest to the desktop or
floor surface is free from resting on any surface.
