To remove a PCIe card, do the following:
1. Remove all external media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to
the server.
2. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat,
clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server. If
the server is in tower form factor, lay the server on its side for easier operation.
3. Remove the server cover. See "Removing the server cover" on page 72.
4. Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the cooling shroud" on page 75.
5. Locate the PCIe card.
6. Depending on the type of the PCIe card, you might also need to disconnect all cables from the PCIe
card, the system board, or the backplane.
