Replacing the I/O Riser Card

CAUTION
Damage to the system occurs if power is not removed from the system prior
to removal or installation of non-hot-plug boards.
Only the I/O riser card is non-hot-plug. Follow the procedures below to replace the I/O riser card.

Removing the I/O Riser Card

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions described in "Warnings and Cautions" on page 179.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3. Power down the system by pressing and holding the power button on the front panel for several
seconds. Unplug both AC power cords to remove standby power from the server.
4. Disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the I/O riser card.
5. Open the back top cover. (Alternatively, retract the I/O bay until it stops. You may remove the
I/O bay completely if that's more convenient.)
6. If the optional SCSI rear panel connector is installed, loosen the captive screw securing the
connector (A in Figure 63) and place the connector and the attached ribbon cable (B in Figure
63) clear of the I/O riser card (C in Figure 63).
