Removing an Expansion Board

To remove an expansion board, follow these steps:
1. Remove the expansion board cage.
2. Disconnect any cables attached to the expansion board.
3. Remove the screw at the side of the expansion slot.
4. Hold the board at each end and carefully rock it back and forth until
the connectors pull free from the slot. Be sure not to scrape the board
against other components.

Installing an Expansion Board

When you install a PCI or ISA expansion board, make sure you press firmly
on the board so that the whole connector seats properly in the expansion board
slot. Complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord.
2. Disconnect any other external equipment connected to the server.
3. Remove the side access panel.
4. Grasp the expansion backplane brace at both ends and pull it out of the
server chassis. Use care when guiding the assembly out of the unit to
prevent damaging the boards.
