Caution – The procedure below is for the attention of qualified service engineers
only. Before touching or replacing any components inside the server, disconnect all
cables and follow the instructions in Section 4.2, “Opening the Server” on page 4-4
which tell you how to open the system. Always place the server on a grounded ESD
pad and wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap.
1. Open the server by following the instructions in Chapter 4 (“Opening the Server”
on page 4-4).
Make sure all external cables are disconnected and pay particular attention to the
information about how to prevent electrostatic discharge from your body from
damaging the components of the server.
2. With the server open and seated on top of an ESD pad, and with a properly
grounded antistatic wrist strap on your wrist, remove the power cable from the
connector on the memory card reader board (see
FIGURE 11-2).
3. Unscrew the screws fixing the memory card reader board into the top of the
CD-ROM drive bay (see
FIGURE 11-2).
Do not discard the screws.
4. Remove the old system configuration card reader.
5. Position the new memory card reader board by lining up its fixing holes with the
holes in the top of the CD-ROM drive enclosure.
6. Insert and tighten the fixing screws.
7. Attach the power cable to the memory card reader board.
