Permanently Removing A Pcie3 6-Slot Fanout Module From The Emx0 Pcie3 Expansion Drawer; Preparing The Emx0 Pcie3 Expansion Drawer To Permanently Remove A Pcie3 6-Slot Fanout Module - IBM Power System PCIe3 Manual

Permanently removing a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module from the EMX0
PCIe3 expansion drawer
Find information about permanently removing a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module from the EMX0 PCIe Gen3
I/O expansion drawer.
If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to remove a
part from the system. For instructions, see "Removing a part by using the HMC" on page 34.
Preparing the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to permanently remove a
PCIe3 6-slot fanout module
To prepare the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to permanently remove a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module,
complete the steps in this procedure.
Procedure
1. Identify the system that you are working on. For instructions, see Enabling enclosure or server
indicators with the ASMI. Use the blue identify LED on the enclosure to locate the system. Ensure
that the serial number of the system matches the serial number to be serviced.
2. Stop the system and the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. When you stop the system, the EMX0 PCIe3
expansion drawer powers off automatically. For instructions, see "Stopping a system" on page 31.
3. If necessary, open the rear rack door.
4. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. Your EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer has an ESD
jack on the rear of the drawer. Plug the ESD wrist strap into the ESD jack on the rear of the drawer.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to
an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging
your hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when
using or working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of
5 seconds.
