PCIe3 expansion drawer

To permanently remove a PCIe3 6-slot fanout module from 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. Disconnect all cables from the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module. Label the cables so that they can be

connected again in the correct order.

3. Open the release latches (B) on the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module (A) by pulling them away from the

rack. See figure Figure 20 on page 20.

Note: If necessary, initiate extraction by pulling on the touch points on the blind swap cassette.

4. Slide the PCIe3 6-slot fanout module (A) halfway out of the drawer. The PCIe3 6-slot fanout module

might be heavy. Therefore, support the module at the base and then pull it out fully.
