Replacing an XG2N Graphics Card
To replace a graphics card, follow these steps:
1.
Power off the Silicon Graphics Prism platform. For power off instructions, see
“Powering Off Manually” on page 25.
2. Disconnect all of the cables at the rear of the module.
Warning:
Components may be hot. To avoid injury, allow the components to cool
for approximately five minutes before you proceed with these instructions.
3. If your module is rackmounted, remove the two screws that secure the module to
the front rails of the rack. If the module is mounted with shelf rails, remove the
screws at the rear also. If your module is not rackmounted, proceed to step 6.
4. If the module is mounted with the optional slide rail kit, pull the module from the
rack until it is stopped by the safety latches. Otherwise, two people should lift the
unit from the rack and place it on a stable work surface.
5. Remove the module (using two people) from the optional slide rails by depressing
the safety latches and sliding the module outward. Place it on a stable work surface.
6. Open the top cover as described in “Opening the Cover” on page 74.
7. Make sure that you read “Safety Instructions” on page 72, before beginning removal
of a graphics card.
8. When removing and replacing a graphics card, you may need to remove an optional
chassis rail by unscrewing the five Phillips screws (as described in “Removing the
Optional Chassis Rail” on page 75).
