Removing a Non-Hot Plug PCI Board

To remove a non-hot plug PCI board, complete the following steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions for handling electronic components.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3. Power down the server by pressing and holding the Power button on the Front Control Panel.
You may have to hold the Power button down for several seconds. Remove both AC power
cords. Removing the power cords ensures that the server is not under standby power.
WARNING
4. Pull the chassis out of the rack as far as it will go.
5. Loosen the two thumbscrews in the back of the chassis that secure the rear cover.
6. Lift the rear cover to expose the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.
7. Loosen the screw that secures the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.
8. Grasp the cover by its exposed, long side and lift the cover away from the chassis. You can
completely remove the cover by unseating the slot hinge. Access is now available to the two
non-hot plug PCI slots and the Legacy I/O board.
9. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the board you are going to remove.
10. Release the plastic retaining mechanism (I/O Card Guide) that secures the end of the board
nearest the front of the chassis.
11. Press the center of the rocker switch that secures the end of the board nearest the rear of the
chassis. When the mechanism clicks open, rotate it all the way down from the outside of the
chassis.
Carefully grasp the adapter board and gently slide it up and out of the system. Be sure not to allow
the board's components to touch any neighboring boards as you lift the board out of the
system.
13. Place the board component side up on a nonconductive, antistatic surface.
