Replacing a PCIe Card
To install or replace a PCIe card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove a PCIe card:
a. Power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on
page 3-8.
b. Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies.
c. Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might
have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
d. Remove the top cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section
on page 3-10.
