Removing An Add-In Board - Intel AC450NX Product Manual

Removing an Add-in Board

CAUTION
Expansion slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots to maintain the
electromagnetic emission characteristics of the server and to ensure proper
cooling of the server components.
See Figures 13-11, 13-12, and 13-13.
1. Observe the precautions on page 115, "Safety Guidelines."
2. Remove the top and PCI bus regular slot covers as described in Chapter 12, "Server Covers:
Removing/Reinstalling."
3. Disconnect any cables attached to the board you are removing.
4. Remove and retain the screw securing the add-in board to the expansion slot frame.
5. Grasp the board by the top edge or upper corners, and carefully pull it toward you until the
edge connector of the board pulls free from the connector on the PHP I/O baseboard. Make
sure that you do not scrape the board against other components.
6. Store the board in an antistatic protective wrapper.
7. Install an expansion slot cover (Figure 13-12) over the vacant slot. The tapered foot of the
cover must fit into the mating slot in the bottom of the expansion slot frame.
8. If this is a 64-bit hot swap slot, install the power enabling switch actuator over the vacant slot.
The spring at the end of the actuator rests on the power enabling switch.
9. Secure the expansion slot cover and the actuator to the expansion slot frame using the
expansion slot cover retaining screw.
10. Reinstall the top and PCI bus regular slot covers as described in Chapter 12.
11. If you removed an ISA add-in board, run the SSU to configure the system. For information
about running this utility, see Chapter 5, "System Setup Utility: When to Run."
