REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: PCI failure

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Removing a PCI Card
1. Power off the workstation, remove the access panel, and attach the antistatic wrist strap.

2. Disconnect any external cables from the PCI card that you plan to remove.

3. Lay the workstation on its side.

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

Note – To remove extra-long PCI cards, detach the fan bracket tabs and pull the bracket back out of the way.

4. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw securing the PCI card bracket tab to the workstation chassis.
Caution – Avoid damaging the connector by not applying force to one end or one side of the board.

5. Pull the upper two corners of the card straight up from the connector.

6. Remove the PCI card.

7. Place the PCI card on an antistatic mat.

Replacing a PCI Card
Perform the following procedures to replace a PCI card.

Note – Read the PCI card product guide for information about jumper or switch settings, connector requirements, and required tools.
Note – To insert extra-long PCI cards, detach the fan bracket tabs and pull the bracket back out of the way.

1. Position the PCI card in the chassis.

2. Guide the card bracket tab into the chassis back-panel opening. Guide the opposite end of the card into the fan bracket card guide so that the card is aligned
evenly with the motherboard connector.

3. At the two upper corners of the PCI card, push the PCI card straight down into the connector until the PCI card is fully seated.

4. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, replace the screw securing the PCI card bracket tab to the workstation chassis.
Note – If you have removed the fan bracket for extra-long PCI cards, replace it by latching it into the slots in the chassis.

5. If necessary, reattach the fan bracket removed earlier.

6. Connect any cables to the PCI boards.

7. Detach the antistatic wrist strap, replace the access panel, and power on the workstation.
