Cold installation or removal of PCI expansion cards
To install a non-hot-swap PCI expansion card:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 65.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 66.
3 Remove the new PCI card from the anti-static bag and place it on an ESD-protected
work surface.
4 Change the card jumpers as required (refer to the documentation that accompanied
the card), then record the serial number and jumper settings.
5 Push the top of the card retention clip for the slot you are using down slightly, then
rotate it out the back of the case to open it (see illustration in “To install a hot-swap
PCI expansion card:” on page 102).
6 If necessary, remove the expansion slot cover for the slot you are using by sliding it
up from inside the chassis.
Important
To abort the hot-plug operation, press the attention button again
within five seconds.
Important
If the attention LED is blinking, a power fault has occurred. If this
continues, remove the new PCI card, wait for the LED to turn off, then
restart the hot-plug installation.
Caution
Damage will occur to your system if you attempt to install or remove
PCI cards in slots 6 or 7 without turning off your server and
disconnecting it from the AC power source.
Caution
Do not touch the contacts on the bottom part of the expansion card.
Touching the contacts can cause electrostatic damage to the card.
