PCI Riser Card Replacement
To replace the PCI riser card, do the following:
1. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, be sure to use your
electrostatic discharge strap to minimize static-electric discharge. Refer to
"Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 348.
2. If necessary, remove the PCI riser card from the antistatic package.
3. Carefully grasp the PCI riser card along two edges, and align the four connectors
located on the bottom side of the PCI riser card with the four standoff connectors
located on the CEC backplane.
4. Ensure you have proper alignment of the PCI riser card connectors. Seat the PCI

removing or installing the PCI riser card from its docking connectors. If you are
servicing a Model 6C4, it is strongly recommended that the system drawer be
removed from the rack. If you are servicing a Model 6E4, it is strongly

thumbs, alternately push down on the two strategically located "push" labels,
mounted on the PCI riser card. Push until no more movement is felt and then
push down hard again on both "push" labels. This alternate pushing technique
is allowed only for this card.
Note: Mounted below the CEC backplane is an aluminum plate. The plate aids
in stiffening the CEC backplane and keeps it from flexing or cracking
when the PCI riser card is inserted.
