3: System Operation
Caution:
Electronic equipment can be irreparably damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Always follow these preventive measures when you handle a system component:
- Remove a component from its antistatic bag only when you are ready to install it.
- If you handle a component before installation, do not place it on surfaces that produce
ESD (carpeting, for example) or near devices that create static electricity.
- Attach a static wrist strap to a grounded connection on your system when you install
or remove a component.
Installing a PCI Card
Follow these steps to install a PCI card:
1.
Power off the system. For instructions on how to power off the system, refer to
“Powering Off” on page 88.
2. Disconnect all of the cables at the rear of the base module.
Warning:
Components may be hot. To avoid injury, allow the components to cool
for approximately 5 minutes before you proceed with these instructions.
3. Remove the two screws that secure the base module to the front rails of the rack.
4. Pull the base module from the rack until it is stopped by the safety latches.
Note:
If you are installing a full-height PCI card in the lower slot (PCI slot 2), you
must remove the base module from the rack. For instructions on how to remove a
base module from the rack, refer to “Removing a Base Module from a Rack” on
page 76.
5. To access the PCI card, remove the two screws shown in Figure 3-5 and lift and
remove the hinged cover.
