Remove the S500 Series PCIe Expansion Module
The S500 Series is equipped with a PCIe expansion module that houses four PCIe cards - two full-height and two low-pro-
file cards. The S500 Series also comes with three low-profile expansion slots directly on the motherboard. These slots can
be accessed without the removal of the PCIe expansion module.
ALWAYS observe proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) conventions. Attach an ESD protective
wrist strap to your wrist and to the appliance chassis. Ensure that the appliance is on an ESD-safe
work surface or ground the unit. Blue Coat does not assume responsibility or liability for damage
resulting from ESD.
1. Pull the release latch to unlock the module then lift the handle to unseat the module.
2. Lift the PCIe expansion module by the handle pull straight up and remove from the appliance.
