Removing a Hot-plug PCI Add-in Board
WARNING
If the system has been running, any installed PCI add-in board on the
baseboard will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be careful
when removing or installing baseboard components that are located
near processors.
CAUTION
Slot covers must be installed on all vacant expansion slots. This
maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and
ensures proper cooling of system components.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Release the two thumbscrews located on the top rear of the chassis. One of two thumbscrews
is noted by "A" in Figure 13.

3. Using an even pull, press lightly on the top cover and slide it back until it stops.
4. Lift the entire top cover upward away from the chassis.
5. Make sure that the slot is powered off. If the slot is powered on, turn the power to the slot off
through the PCI Hot-plug application on your system or through the HW push-button.
6. Disconnect any cables attached to the board you are removing.
7. Press down on the PCI Hot-plug (PHP) Retention mechanism from inside the chassis. Rotate
the mechanism outside the chassis and towards the bottom of the chassis. This action frees the
card’s faceplate. See Figure 11 on page 29.
8. If you are removing a full-length board, release the Rear Retention Latch. See Figure 12 on
page 29.
9. Remove the PCI board by pulling straight up.
10. Store board in an antistatic protective wrapper.
11. If you are not reinstalling a board in the same slot, install a slot cover over the vacant slot. The
tapered foot of the cover must fit into the mating slot in the expansion slot frame.
