adapter installed in the system, then you must exchange the tall tailstock that was shipped on the
replacement card with the low-profile tailstock from the failed card.
Note: A Phillips screwdriver is required to complete the procedure.
To remove and replace a PCIe adapter tailstock, choose from the following options:
• Removing the tailstock from a failed adapter or adapter filler
• Removing the tailstock from a new adapter
• Replacing the tailstock in a new adapter
Procedure
Removing the tailstock from a failed adapter or adapter filler
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws (A) that attach the tailstock (B) to the PCIe
adapter, as shown in Figure 44 on page 65.

3. Detach the tailstock from the PCIe adapter and place the tailstock and the screws on a flat, static-
protective surface.
4. If you are removing the tailstock from a 4-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCIe adapter, there is only one
screw to remove. After removing the screw, disengage the tabs from the card hardware and remove
the tailstock.
5. If you are removing the tailstock from an Ethernet or Fibre Channel adapter that has small form-
factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers, you must first remove the SFP transceivers.
