Figure 18. Removing the low-profile tailstock from a PCIe adapter
3. Detach the tailstock from the PCIe adapter and place the tailstock and the screws on a flat, static-
protective surface.
4. If you are removing the tailstock from a 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCIe adapter, there is only one
screw to remove. After removing the screw, disengage the tabs from the card hardware and remove
the tailstock.
5. If you are removing the tailstock from an Ethernet or Fibre Channel adapter that has small form-
factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, you must first remove the SFP transceivers.
To remove the SFP transceivers, complete the following steps:
a) Place the card flat on a static-protective surface.
b) Open the latch (A) by rotating it down and away from the card as shown in Figure 19 on page 26.
c) Slide the transceiver (B) out of the adapter hardware.
d) Repeat for the other transceiver.
