Removing a Non-Hot-Plug PCI Card

PCI cards installed in slots 1 through 5 are hot-swappable. If you are adding or removing a card from

one of these slots, you can do so without powering down the server. If you wish to do so, follow

the instructions under “Removing Hot-plug PCI Card with Operating System Hot-Plug Interface”

or “Removing Hot-plug PCI Card with Hardware Hot-Plug Interface”, and “Installing a Hot-plug PCI

Add-in Card”.

CAUTION

Damage to the system occurs if power is not removed from the system prior to removal or installation

of non-hot-plug boards.

1. Observe the safety precautions, warnings, and cautions described in “Safety Information”.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.

3. Power down the system and unplug both AC power cords to remove power from the server.
