Removing an Option Board

10. If you have installed a SCSI host adapter board, go
to Appendix A for procedures on cabling these boards
into the system. For all other boards, continue with
Step 11.
11. Connect any external cables (if they are needed) to
the installed option board.
12. Replace the left side panel, power on the system, and
run the RCU if you have installed any non-Plug-and-
Play ISA option boards.
Note: Expansion slot covers must be installed on all
vacant slots to maintain the electromagnetic emissions
characteristics of the system and to assure proper
cooling of the system components.
1. Power off the system and remove the left side panel
as described earlier in this chapter.
2. Disconnect any cables attached to the option board
you are removing.
3. Remove and save the option board retaining bracket
screw (Figure 5-8).
4. Hold the board at each end and carefully rock it back
and forth until the edge connectors pull free. Make
sure that you do not scrape the board against other
components.
5. Remove the board from the expansion slot and place
it in an antistatic wrapper. If you are replacing a
board, go to "Installing an Option Board" earlier in
this chapter, otherwise continue.
6. Install an expansion slot cover over the vacant slot
using the previously removed screw (Figure 5-7).
7. Replace the left side panel and power on the system.
8. If you removed an non-Plug-and-Play ISA option
board, run the RCU to configure the system as
described in the Configuring Your System chapter.
