Installing and Removing a PCI Add-in Card
Caution
The add-in cards are NOT hot swappable
Installing a PCI Add-in Card
1. Make sure the power switches for the computer, video monitor and any
peripheral devices are turned OFF and unplug the power cord (see “General
Safety Information” on page 132).
2. Disconnect the monitor and peripheral devices (printers, for instance) from the
system.
3. Remove the server cover. Refer to “Removing the Server Cover” on page 160.
4. Remove the PCI riser assembly. Refer to “
Removing the PCI Riser Assembly”
on page 200.
5. Remove the screw at the rear of the riser assembly. See letter “A” in
Figure 148.
Note: Save this screw. You will reinstall it later.
6. If a filler panel is installed over the opening at the rear of the riser assembly lift
it from the riser assembly. See letter “B” in Figure 148.
Note: Save the filler panel in case you later need to remove
the add-in card.
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 “C” in Figure 148.
8. Re-install the screw you removed in step 5. See letter “A” in Figure 148.
