Non-Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter Removal
To remove a PCI adapter, do the following:
1. On a Model 6C4, open the front and rear rack doors and place the system into the
service position as described in “Placing the Model 6C4 into the Service Position”
on page 355.
On a Model 6E4, open the bezel door.
2. Shut down the system as described in “Stopping the System” on page 350.
3. Disconnect the power source to the system.
Note: This system may be equipped with a second power supply. Before
continuing with this procedure, ensure that the system power source has
been completely disconnected.
4. Remove the service access cover as described in “Service Access Cover Removal
(Model 6C4)” on page 357 or “Service Access Cover Removal (Model 6E4)” on
page 363. See the following illustration.
5. Determine which adapters you plan to remove, then label and disconnect all
cables attached to that adapter.
6. Record the slot number and location of each adapter being removed.
Note: Adapter slots are numbered on the rear of the system unit.
7. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, be sure to use your
electrostatic discharge strap to minimize static-electric discharge. Refer to
“Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 348.
8. If you are removing a long adapter, make note of how the back edge of the
adapter slides into the molded grooves located on the back wall of the PCI cooling
fan bracket.
