Removing or Replacing a Non-Hot-Plug Expansion Board
CAUTION: Do not open the slot release lever unless the green PCI Hot Plug LED indicator is
off. System power down and subsequent data loss could occur.
To remove a non-hot-plug expansion board:
1. Power down the server. Refer to “Powering Down the Server” in Chapter 2.
2. Slide the server out of the rack.
3. Open the top access panel. Refer to “Top Access Panels” in Chapter 3.
4. Remove any expansion board I/O cables as appropriate.
5. Press on the top of the appropriate expansion slot release lever (1) and open the
slot-keeper lever toward the front of the expansion slot (2).
6. Unseat the expansion board by pulling up on the plastic tab (3), and then lift the board out
of the server (4).
IMPORTANT: If you are only removing the expansion board, install an expansion slot cover in the slot.
