3-10 Disassembly and Reassembly
Expansion Board Removal
Remove an expansion board as follows.
Before handling boards or chips, ground yourself to release static.
1.
Remove the cover (see “Removing the Cover” earlier in this section).
2.
Remove the riser board and bracket as follows.
!
Label and unplug any cable(s) connected to the expansion board.
!
Remove the upper side screw securing the bracket to the side of the chassis (see the
following figure).
!
Carefully pull up on the bracket to release it from the chassis and the riser board
connector on the system board. As the bracket fits tightly, you might need to rock the
bracket slightly to release it from the chassis.
3.
Remove the screw securing the expansion board to the riser board bracket.
4.
Carefully pull the expansion board out of its connector on the riser board and out of the riser
board expansion slot. Place the board in an antistatic bag.
5.
Install a replacement board (see the following subsection ) or install a slot cover if a board
is not being replaced.

If not installing a replacement board, reinstall the riser board bracket and system cover (see
“System Cover Removal” earlier in this section).
