Managing PCI Cards with OLAR

Performing OLAR procedures from the command line

the amber attention LED is still ﬂashing so that the suspended card can

be more easily located on the system chassis.

Step 9. Replace the target card:

a. Prepare the PCI I/O card cage for card removal:

1. Remove the front bezel

2. Extend the SPU out the back of the cabinet

3. There are two PCI I/O card cages in the SPU, a left-hand side and

a right-hand side. To replace a PCI I/O card on the left-hand side

of the SPU, you may have to remove the rear door

b. Remove the target PCI I/O card from the SPU:

1. Remove the I/O cable attached to the PCI I/O card to be removed.

2. Loosen the two captive screws at the back edge of the PCI cover

and pull the cover away from the SPU.

3. Remove the PCI I/O card retainer screw from the rear bulkhead.

4. Grasp the extended tab of the PCI card separator/extractors and

pull outward to disengage the PCI I/O card. On the left-hand side,

the card disengages just below the extractor; on the right-hand

side, just above the extractor.

The PCI card separator/extractor will not come out of the card

cage unless intentionally removed.

5. Grasp the edge of the PCI I/O card and pull it out of the SPU.

c. Insert the replacement PCI I/O card to the SPU:

1. Align the PCI card with the appropriate slot.

2. Insert the PCI card into the card cage, between the

separator/extractor cards.

3. Press ﬁrmly on the PCI card to make sure it is fully seated.

4. Insert the PCI card retainer screw into the back bulkhead and

tighten.

d. Prepare the SPU to be re-inserted:

1. Replace the PCI cover plate.

2. Connect the appropriate I/O cable to the installed PCI card.
