Step 7. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch to the closed position to capture the PCI/PCI-X card and manual
retention latch into the closed position.
Step 8. Press the attention button. The power LED starts to blink. Wait until the power LED goes from
blinking to steady on.
NOTE After pushing the attention button, you have five seconds to cancel the operation by
pushing the attention button again. After five seconds, pressing the attention button
initiates slot power off for OLR of the card.
Step 9. Replace the top cover. (See “Replacing the Top Cover” on page 183.)
Step 10. Push the server all the way back into the rack until it stops.
OLR
CAUTION For HP-UX 11i v1 (and higher), you can only replace an existing card with an identical card.
To remove and replace a PCI/PCI-X card into a populated slot, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. (See “Accessing a Rack-Mounted
Server” on page 177.)
Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. (See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 182.)
Step 3. Disconnect all external and internal cables attached to the PCI card in the side service bay.
Step 4. Press the attention button located on the OLX divider that controls the affected slot. The power
LED starts to blink. Wait until the power LED goes from blinking to steady off.
NOTE After pushing the attention button, you have five seconds to cancel the operation by
pushing the attention button again.
Step 5. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch approximately 45 degrees on the chassis until the MRL is free to
pull up.
Step 6. Pull up on the MRL located on the OLX divider to turn off power to the slot. (Figure 6-27)
Step 7. Turn the PCI/PCI-X card latch on the chassis approximately 45 degrees clockwise to completely
expose the PCI/PCI-X bulkhead. (Figure 6-28)
Step 8. If the PCI/PCI-X card is full size, open the slider gate latch to release the end of the card. (Figure
6-30)
Step 9. Grasp the top edge of the PCI/PCI-X card and remove it from the slot.
NOTE There is not an ejection lever to remove PCI/PCI-X cards as there was on previous
server models. You must remove the PCI/PCI-X card manually. Cutouts in the OLX
dividers enable access for grasping the PCI/PCI-X cards.
Step 10. Insert the new PCI/PCI-X card into the powered off slot. (Figure 6-29)
