Active PCI assembly
The Active PCI assembly, mounted on the top rear of the server frame adjacent to
the PCI and PCI-X adapters, contains one switch for each of the six adapters. This
ensures that power is disconnected from the associated adapter if you attempt to
open the adapter latch and remove an adapter.
Note:

Complete the following steps to replace the Active PCI assembly:
1. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then,
remove the top cover (see “Opening the cover” on page 72).

Release latches
4. To replace the Active PCI assembly, lower the assembly into place so that the
lips on the bottom of the EMI shielding material fit into the chassis at the rear of
the server, and slide the card into place until the two release latches snap
securely. Then, connect the cable from the Active PCI assembly to the board.
5. Replace the top cover (see “Closing the cover” on page 106).
