Servicing CRUs That Require Server Power-Off 103
Remove the PCIe Riser From PCIe Slots 3 and 4
Note -
This PCIe riser is actually installed in PCIe slot 3, but it supports up to two PCIe cards.
The upper slot, referred to as slot 3, can be used for any supported PCIe card, and, therefore, is
optionally populated. The lower slot, referred to as slot 4, is dedicated to the internal HBA card,
and, therefore is always populated. The internal HBA card is a field replaceable unit (FRU).
For instructions for servicing the internal HBA card, see “Servicing the Internal HBA Card
(FRU)” on page 140 .
1. Prepare the server for service.
a. Power off the server and disconnect the power cords from the power
supplies.
See “Powering Down the Server” on page 51
b. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
See “Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position” on page 56 .
c. Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and then to a metal area on the
chassis.
See “Take Antistatic Measures” on page 59 .
d. Remove the server top cover.
See “Remove the Server Top Cover” on page 60 .
2. If there is a PCIe card installed in the riser, disconnect any external or internal
cables.
Note -
Do not disconnect the SAS cable from the internal host bus adapter card until after you
have removed the riser from the server.
