Replacing a PCIe adapter in the system backplane in the 8335-GTB

Learn about replacing Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) adapters in the IBM
Power System S822LC (8335-GTB) system.
About this task
Attention: For safety and airflow purposes, if you remove parts from the system, you must ensure that:
v PCIe tailstock fillers are present
v Graphic processor unit (GPU) airflow tunnels are present.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
2. Insert the replacement PCIe adapter into the system backplane as shown in Figure 96 on page 81,
aligning the adapter properly and inserting it fully into the slot. When inserting a long PCIe adapter
card into slot 2 in a system that is water cooled, be careful to ensure that the water hose is not
pinched under the adapter card. Route the water hose around the end of the adapter card.
