Installing An Adapter In A Two-Slot Riser Card - IBM 6380 User Manual

Installing an adapter in a two-slot riser card

Note: The two-slot riser card is part of an optional expansion enclosure; the riser
card and adapters are attached to the expansion enclosure. This procedure
assumes that an expansion enclosure is already installed on the system-board tray.

To install an adapter in a two-slot riser card, complete the following steps:
PCI slots
PCIe bay cover
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 23.
2. Turn off the system-board tray and all attached devices (see "Turning off the
system-board tray" on page 21).
3. If the system-board tray is installed in a chassis, remove it (see "Removing a
system-board tray from a 2U chassis" on page 25).
4. Remove the expansion enclosure (see "Removing an expansion enclosure" on
page 29) and set it upside down on a flat, static-protective surface.
Note: If an adapter is already installed in the riser card, the riser card and
adapter are removed together.
5. Remove the screws, slide the PCIe adapter bay cover toward the front of the
expansion enclosure, and remove it. Save the screws and the PCIe adapter
bay cover for later use.
6. If an adapter is installed in the connector on the riser card where you are
installing the new adapter, remove it.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter that you are
installing to any unpainted metal surface on the chassis or rack; then, remove
the adapter from the static-protective package. Avoid touching the components
and gold-edge connectors on the adapter.
8. If you are installing a full-length adapter, remove the blue adapter guide (if any)
from the end of the adapter.
