Removing the PCIe Card Cage
The PCIe card cage in the Sonnet xMac unit can be removed from the case to be cleaned or replaced, or to have
different PCIe cards inserted.
To remove PCIe card cage:
Step 1.
At the rear of the rack, disconnect all power, Thunderbolt, Ethernet, and video cables from the rear right
side of the Sonnet xMac unit. The Thunderbolt cable has shell with a screw-down retainer. The Din 1.0/2.3
connectors for the capture card have a locking collar that must be retracted when disconnecting the cable.
Step 2.
At the rear of the xMac unit, loosen the five retaining fasteners that hold the card cage into the xMac unit.
Step 3.
At the front of the rack, remove the front panel and air filter. Refer back to
on page 36.
Step 4.
Carefully slide the card cage out of the case, checking for cables or connectors that may become caught.
