Removing an SMP Expansion Module and cover
While installing options, you might need to remove one or both of the SMP
Expansion Modules. This section provides instructions on removing an SMP
Expansion Module from the server and removing the cover from the module.
Note: When you install or remove SMP Expansion Modules, the server
configuration information changes. Therefore, you must change and save the
new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program (see “Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 16).
Complete the following steps to remove an SMP Expansion Module from the server:
1. Review the information in “Installation guidelines” on page 71, “Handling
electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 204, and “Safety information”
on page 201.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, disconnect the power cords and all
external cables from the SMP Expansion Module; then, open the cover (see
“Opening the cover” on page 72 for details).
3. If necessary, remove the SMP baffle and retention bracket from the server.
a. Remove the shipping thumbscrews from the right side of the server.
