Remove a PCIe Card Carrier

The SPARC T8-4 server supports single-wide and double-wide card carriers. The removal steps
are the same for both carrier types. This topic includes illustrations only for the single-wide
carrier.
If you are installing a PCIe card that requires a double-wide carrier, you must remove
Note -
two adjacent PCIe card carriers.
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic

discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
Removing PCIe card carriers while the server is at the OpenBoot prompt is not

supported. The server must be either powered off, or booted into the Oracle Solaris OS.
Take the necessary ESD precautions.
