3) Gently pull out the old card as shown in Figure 4-47.
4) This particular example features a SATA RAID controller card. In this case, you also need to
disconnect the data cables from the card as shown in Figure 4-48 (see notes below).

5) Take the new/replacement PCI card and incorporate it into the system by performing the steps
described above in reverse order.
Note: It is important to ensure that theses cables are attached to the new card in the same
positions as they occupied on the original card.
Note: In the case of these SATA cables, there is no good locking mechanism to ensure that they
remain attached to the card, so MaxVision uses a special adhesive. This adhesive is somewhat
flexible and the connectors can be broken free of the bond by simply pulling the SATA connector
straight out (do not pull on SATA cable itself). Reapply adhesive (provided by MaxVision support)
after reattaching the cables to the new card.
Note: Ensure that the tongue on the new/replacement card’s faceplate lines up with the slot in the
chassis (you may have to bend the tongue slightly in the case of a new card).
PCI Express Card (Primary)
In the case of a single-screen MaxPac system, the graphics will be handled by the PCI Express card
located in the primary PCI Express slot. This topic discusses the replacement of the Primary PCI
Express card.
1) Open the display assembly into its service position as discussed earlier in this chapter.
2) Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the screws holding the over-molded video cables to the
PCI Express graphics card (Figure 4-49). Gently disengage the over-molded DVI connector from
the PCI Express graphics board (Figure 4-50).
