Power off the server as described in the
page 3-8.
Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies.
Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might
have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Remove the top cover as described in the
on page 3-10.
Older servers have a screw that secures the PCIe riser to the rear of the chassis, but newer servers
do not have this screw. If your server has the screw, continue with the next step to remove it. If
your server does not have this screw, skip to Step
Remove the screw that holds the riser card assembly to the rear of the chassis.
Disconnect any cables from connectors on the PCIe card.
Lift the assembly and any attached PCIe cards straight up and out of the chassis. Lift up on both
ends of the assembly evenly to avoid damaging the sockets or the riser cards. See
page 3-32.
Remove the screw that secures the PCIe card rear plate to the assembly rear opening.
Pull the PCIe card connector out of the riser card socket and set the card aside.
If you are installing a PCIe card to an empty slot on the riser card assembly, remove any blank panel
from the assembly rear opening by removing the screw that secures the blank panel.
