Removing PCI Expansion Boards

IMPORTANT: Always power down the server before installing a Smart Array 5i Controller.
Remove all expansion boards installed in the PCI expansion area before

the server is powered down, the procedures in this section can be used for
hot-plug or non-hot-plug expansion boards.
To remove a PCI expansion board:
1. Power down the server. See "Powering Down the Server" in Chapter 3,
"Installing Hardware Options."
2. Remove the access panel. See "Removing the Access Panel" in
Chapter 3, "Installing Hardware Options."
3. Remove any cables connecting the expansion board to the system board.
