expansion drawer
To replace the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer, complete the steps in
this procedure.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Replace the PCIe adapter cassettes that you removed from the original PCIe3 6-slot fanout module in
the new fanout module.
a. Ensure that the latch doors (B) are in the open position.
Attention: Before you insert the PCIe adapter cassette in the PCI slot, ensure that the PCIe
adapter does not have any cables attached to it. If the adapter has cables attached, remove them.
The cables must be attached to the adapter after the PCIe adapter cassette is inserted in the PCI
slot.
b. Carefully grasp the PCIe adapter cassette (D) by its top edge, and align the PCIe adapter cassette
with the slot. See Figure 13 on page 13.
c. Starting on the right side and working towards the left, slide the first PCIe adapter cassette (D)
into the cassette slot.
d. When the PCIe adapter cassette (D) is fully inserted into the cassette slot, press the handle of the
PCIe adapter cassette (C) downward to lock the PCIe adapter cassette (D) in its connector. See
Figure 13 on page 13.
e. Repeat steps 2b through 2d for each PCIe adapter cassette in the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module.
f. Rotate the latch doors (B) downward and press them into the closed position, as shown in
Figure 13 on page 13. The adapter latches (A) automatically lock in place.
