To remove the PCI Express module, follow these steps:
1
Remove any cables attached to installed PCI Express expansion cards.
2
Unplug the flexible riser connection to the ANTARES SBC.
Take care to pull on the plug-in connector rather than the flexible cable. Connected peripheral devices,
or software could be damaged if the warnings are not carefully followed.
3
Disconnect the tamper detect cable from front panel breakout board assembly.
The PCI Express module is retained in the enclosure by formed lugs on the base, and one
retaining screw.
4
Unscrew the retainer and slide the PCI Express Module back to clear the lugs on the base, and lift
out.
Be careful of the tamper detect switch and cable when the PCI Express module is removed.
