PCI Card Installation
The hp Integrity cx2600 Server has four 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X accessory card sockets located in a removable
card cage. The PCI card cage must be removed before PCI cards can be removed or installed. The following
sections remove and open the card cage, remove and install PCI cards, and reinstall the card cage.
Removing the PCI Card Cage Assembly
To remove the PCI card cage assembly, perform the following steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, extend a slide-mounted server out from the rack until it stops. Refer to “Accessing
a Rack Mounted Server” on page 15.
Step 2. Turn off the system. Disconnect all external cables.
Step 3. If desired, remove the server from the rack and place it on an ESD-protected work surface. Refer to
“Remove the Server from a Rack” on page 16.
WARNING Ensure that the system is powered down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing the PCI card
cage assembly.
Voltages and hazardous energy can be present at various locations within
the server whenever a power source is connected. This hazard is present
even when the power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage
to equipment.
Step 4. Remove the top cover from the chassis. Refer to “Removing the Top Cover” on page 25.
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions while performing this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
Step 5. Pull up on the PCI card cage release lever (colored lever) and the back edge of the card cage, then
lift the card cage out of the server chassis.
