Do not wear any conductive objects, such as jewelry or watches.
When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
Procedure
1.
Identify the position of the PCIe riser connector. For more information, see system board
components in "Appendix A Server specifications."
2.
Power off the server. For more information, see "
3.
Remove the server from the rack. For more information, see "
Removing the server from a rack
4.
Remove the access panel. For more information, see "
5.
Remove the chassis air baffle.
6.
Remove the PCIe riser card blank. Lift the blank to remove it from the chassis.
7.
Remove the dust cover from the riser connector on the processor mezzanine board. Lift the
dust cover to remove it from the chassis.
8.
Install a PCIe module to the riser card:
a.
Open the retaining latch of the riser card.
b.
Remove the PCIe module blank.
c.
Install the PCIe module to the riser card. Insert the PCIe module into the PCIe slot along the
guide rails, and then close the retaining latch.
9.
Install the riser card installed with the PCIe module:
a.
Unlock the riser card. Slide the locking tab to release the locking lever.
b.
Inset the riser card into the PCIe riser connector along the guide rails, and then close the
locking lever. The riser card will automatically slide into place.
WARNING!
For the riser card to be installed correctly, press the riser card over the riser card connector
after the locking lever is closed.
10.
Connect cables to the riser card or PCIe modules, if any.
11.
Install the chassis air baffle.
12.
Install the access panel. For more information, see "
13.
Rack-mount the server. For more information, see "
14.
Connect the power cord. For more information, see "
15.
Power on the server. For more information, see "
Replacing riser cards and PCIe modules
WARNING!
To avoid bodily injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and its internal modules to cool before
touching them.
The server provides three PCIe riser connectors on the system board to connect riser cards, which
hold PCIe modules. For more information about the connector locations, see system board
components in "Appendix A Server specifications."
