Remove a CMIOU
b.
Carefully remove the CMIOU from the server, using two hands, and avoid
bumping the rear connectors (panel 2), and place the CMIOU on a grounded
antistatic mat.
Caution -
remove the CMIOU from the chassis.
4.
Install the plastic cover that you removed from the connectors on the new
CMIOU on the connectors of the CMIOU you are replacing.
Ensure that the connector cover is fully engaged and centered over the connectors.
5.
If you are replacing DIMMs, an eUSB disk, or a faulty CMIOU (which involves
removing DIMMS for installation in the new CMIOU), remove the CMIOU top
cover.
Do not remove the top cover if you are removing a CMIOU to access another component for
service.
Press down on the green button at the top of the cover to disengage the cover from the CMIOU.
While pressing the button, grasp the rear edge of the cover and slide it toward the rear of the
CMIOU until it stops. Lift the cover off.

If you are replacing a faulty CMIOU, remove all of the DIMMs and PCIe
carriers (including any installed PCIe cards) and transfer them to the new
CMIOU.
