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 AC 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.
Removing a PCI Riser Card
To remove a PCI Riser Card, follow these steps:
1. Disconnect any cables attached to any add-in cards.
