Replacing a PCI Riser Card
Caution: PCI riser cards are NOT hot-swappable. Before removing or replacing the riser card,
you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system,
turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the power cord from the system or
wall outlet.
Note: To eliminate the possibility of installing the replacement connector on the wrong side of the
PCI riser assembly, replace one connector at a time.
