1.
Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. 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 by pressing the
HW push-button.
3. Disconnect any cables attached to the board you are removing.
4. If there is a front and rear hot-plug retention mechanism, release it.
5. Remove the PCI board by pulling straight up.
6. Store board in an antistatic protective wrapper.
7. 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.
Installing a 64-bit, 66/33-MHz Hot-Plug PCI Add-in Board
To install a 64-bit, 33/66-MHz hot-plug PCI add-in board, follow these steps:
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, especially those that are located near processors.
Caution:
Do not overload the baseboard by installing add-in boards that draw excessive
current.
Caution:
Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful
handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the baseboard,
place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad, if
available. Do not slide the board over any surface.
