Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards
Caution
To help guard against electrostatic discharge damage, make sure
you are properly grounded by using a grounding wrist strap and
following the instructions provided with the wrist strap before you
handle the components or open the appliance. If you do not have a
grounding wrist strap, make sure you are properly grounded before
you touch any electronic component.

Removing, Installing, and Replacing NICs

The 500s appliance has two slots on the front of the appliance that hold two
6U PMC carriers. All NICs installed in the 500s appliance are housed in the
6U PMC carrier. You must first remove the 6U PMC carrier from its slot
before you can remove or install a NIC.
Note
Because the 500s appliance supports hot swapping of NICs, you do not
have to turn off power from the system to remove, install, or replace a
NIC.

Before You Begin

Before you install the card, make sure that the rubber gasket around the front
of the card is installed properly.
To remove, install, or replace a NIC you need the following:
Phillips-head screwdriver
Suitable, grounded work surface on which to place the PMC carrier
Replacement or new NIC
