Removing a PCI adapter from a PCI riser-card assembly
This topic describes removing an adapter from a PCI expansion slot in a PCI
riser-card assembly. These instructions apply to PCI adapters such as video graphic
adapters and network adapters. To remove a SAS controller from the SAS riser
card, go to “Removing a SAS controller from the SAS riser card” on page 203.
The following illustration shows the locations of the adapter expansion slots from
the rear of the server.

Notes:
1. If a PCI Express Gen 2x16 adapter is installed in a PCI riser-card assembly, the
second expansion slot is not available.
2. If you are replacing a high power graphics adapter, you might need to
disconnect the internal power cable from the system board before removing the
adapter.
