8. If you are removing a full-length board, release the rear retention latch. See
Figure 4-5 on page 85.
9. Remove the PCI board by pulling straight up.
10. Store board in an antistatic protective wrapper.
11. If you are not reinstalling a board in the same slot, install a slot cover over the
vacant slot. The tapered foot of the cover must fit into the mating slot in the
expansion slot frame.
12. Before replacing the top cover, check that no loose tools or parts were left inside the
system.
13. Position the cover over the chassis so that the rows of tabs align with slots in the
chassis. Slide the cover toward the front of the system until the tabs on the cover
firmly engage in the chassis.
14. Attach the top cover to the chassis with the two thumbscrews released earlier and
tighten them firmly.
15. Connect any external cables.
16. Running the SSU is optional after you remove a PCI add-in board.
Installing a Hot-Plug PCI Add-in Board
Warning: If the system has been running, any installed PCI add-in board on the
baseboard will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be careful when removing or
installing baseboard components, especially those that are located near processors.
Caution: Do not overload baseboard: Do not draw too much current from the baseboard
by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current.
Caution: ESD and handling boards: Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD
and always require careful handling. After removing the board from its protective
wrapper or from the baseboard, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free
surface or conductive foam pad, if available. Do not slide the board over any surface.
