Adapter Card Replacement

Each of the motherboard nodes may includes an adapter card, which connects it
to the chassis. In the unlikely event of a failure of the adapter card, replacement is
simple and requires only a Phillips head screwdriver.
Changing the Adapter Card
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply as described in Section 5-2. Remove the node from the chas-
sis as described in Section 5-3 and place the node on a flat, stable surface.
Remove the cover from the node as described in Section 5-5.
2. Remove the two screws securing the adapter card to the wall of the node.
3. Disconnect all cables.
4. Carefully lift the adapter card up and out of the node. Set the screws aside
for later use.
5. Install the replacement adapter card into the same position on the wall of the
motherboard node, aligning the mounting holes of the board with those in the
node.
6. Secure the board with the two screws previously set aside. Do not exceed
eight pound of torque when tightening the power adapter board.
7. Reconnect all cables.
8. Return the motherboard node to the chassis.
