Long Adapter Removal: To remove a long adapter, do the following:
1. Each adapter arm has a release tab that allows the arm to be moved away from the adapter in the
cassette assembly. Use your fingernail to lift the tab, to allow the arm to be moved away from the
adapter. Lift the release tab on the long adapter arm, and slide it off the cassette linkage assembly.
2. Remove the adapter from the cassette linkage assembly by rotating the bottom of the tailstock out, as
shown in the following illustration. Store the adapter in a safe place.
3. The removal procedure for the PCI adapter cassette assembly is complete. To install a new adapter or
blank filler in the cassette, go to "Installing a Hot-Pluggable PCI Adapter" on page 57.
Replacing an Adapter in a PCI Adapter Cassette: This procedure is performed when preparing to
install a new adapter or a blank filler in the processor subsystem or an I/O drawer. Familiarize yourself
with the entire procedure before performing the following steps.
1. Place the empty PCI adapter cassette linkage on a flat work surface in front of you. Position the
cassette so that the handle is in the raised (up position), and on the left, with the top of the linkage
facing away from you.
Note: Your PCI adapter cassette linkage might not have the short or long adapter retaining arms
installed if you removed them during the remove procedure. In the following figure, both arms
are shown.
