Removing and installing a PCI riser connector
You received your server chassis with your choice of one of two PCI riser connectors:
■ A full-height PCI-Express riser with one PCI-Express x8 slot
■ A full-height PCI-X riser with one PCI-X slot
The PCI riser connector can be replaced if it fails or if a different option is required.
To remove and install a PCI riser connector:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 37. Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 38.
3 Remove the PCI riser assembly by following the instructions in “Removing and
installing the PCI riser assembly” on page 69.
4 Remove any expansion cards installed in the PCI riser connector. You can slightly rock
the card end-to-end to loosen and remove the card (do not bend the card sideways).
Caution Do not touch the contacts on the bottom part of the expansion card.
Touching the contacts can cause electrostatic damage to the card.
