PCIe3 6-slot fanout module for the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O

expansion drawer

The PCIe3 6-slot fanout module is used to connect the EMX0 PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer (EMX0

PCIe3 expansion drawer) to your server.

You can install, remove and replace, or permanently remove a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0

PCIe3 expansion drawer.

Installing a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion

drawer when the system power is turned off

Find information about installing a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer.

If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to install the

part in the system. For instructions, see "Installing a part by using the HMC" on page 33.

Preparing the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to install a PCIe3 6-slot

fanout module

To prepare the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer to install a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module, complete the steps

in this procedure.

Procedure

1. Stop the system and the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer. When you stop the system, the EMX0 PCIe3

expansion drawer powers off automatically. For instructions, see "Stopping a system" on page 31.

2. If necessary, open the rear rack door.

3. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. Your EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer has an ESD

jack on the rear of the drawer. Plug the ESD wrist strap into the ESD jack on the rear of the drawer.

Attention:

v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to

an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging

your hardware.

v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is

used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when

using or working on electrical equipment.

v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and

installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of

5 seconds.
