Replacing an MPB96 board

This section describes how to replace an MPB96 board.
You must replace an MPB96 board:
• if the board becomes faulty
• when the PCI firmware needs to be updated, and the board must be sent back to the
factory
Important:
If you are replacing an NTRH40AA MPB96 board with an NTRH40CA, make sure you have
the following:
• NTRB18DA MGate cards. The NTRH40CA MPB96 board only connects to NTRB18DA
and later MGate cards.
• CAT5e cables to connect from the MPB96 board to the MGate Cards. You require one
CAT5e cable for each MGate card.
Caution:
Risk of electrical damage
• Wear an antistatic ESD wrist strap when handling cards or boards, or when working
inside the server.
• Do not touch the components or gold-edge connectors of cards or boards.
• Place the board on an antistatic surface until you are ready to install it.
MPB96 boards are not hot-swappable and you must power down the system before replacing
the cards.
Caution:
Risk of physical equipment damage
Remove the 1005r from the rack, and place it on a solid surface when replacing or adding
cards. The PCI riser assembly requires considerable force when inserting it into the
connector, and physical damage can result if the assembly is not properly aligned.
Placing the server on a solid surface such as a workbench gives you a better view of the
card alignment and lets you exert the necessary force when inserting the assembly into the
connector.
