Removing a U916 PCI Card
C A U T I O N
When you handle a PCI card, always ground yourself to
prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the card.
In addition, always hold the card by its edges; never touch
the components on the card.
1. Check to see whether the red indicator light is illuminated. If it is, do not remove the
card from service without consulting your local Stratus Customer Assistance
Center (see ‘‘Commenting on the Documentation” in the Preface). Otherwise,
proceed to the next step.
2. Stop any processes or software that are using the U916 PCI card and all other
cards in the associated card cage. Opening the card cage will remove all power in
that card cage from the network.
3. Disable the PCI card. Refer to the HP-UX Operating System: Fault Tolerant
System Administration (MAN0004) or (R1004H) for disabling instructions.
4. Disconnect the cable from the PCI card by squeezing the latch on the cable
connector and gently pulling the cable out of the PCI card (see Figure 2-9).

Opening a card cage door stops the communications
associated with any cards in that card cage. Before you
open the card cage door, determine what resources will
be affected.
5. Open the door of the PCI card cage from which you intend to remove the card (see
Figure 2-9). When you open the door, the power to that card cage is suspended.
