Installing and Removing a PCI Add-in Card

Caution: The add-in cards are NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing an add-in card,
you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to
the system, turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power
cord from the system or wall outlet.

Installing a PCI Add-in Card

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See
Information" on page
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
3. Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see
System Cover" on page
4. Remove the PCI riser assembly. For instructions, see
Assembly" on page
5. Remove the screw from the add-in card slot opening.
6. If a filler panel is installed over the opening at the rear of the riser assembly,
remove it. Save the filler panel in case you need it to remove the add-in card later.
7. Insert the add-in card into the socket in the riser assembly. Push the add-in card into
place firmly until it seats in the riser card connector, but use caution so you do not
twist or bend the card. See letter "A" in the figure below.
