Chapter 4 Maintaining the Sun Fire V40z Server 4-15
4.5.1.4 Installing a Vertical PCI Card in a Vertical Slot
Follow these steps to install a vertical mount PCI card in one of the server’s six
vertical slots (see
FIGURE 4-5 for location). Four of the six vertical slots have a
mechanical retention latch (MRL); two of the slots have a retaining bracket.
1. Power off the server, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the
server from the electrical outlet. If your server includes two power supplies,
ensure that both power cords are disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Refer to “Powering Off the Server and Removing the Cover” on page 4-2.
2. Remove the card you are replacing using one of the following two methods,
depending on which slot you are installing to:
■ If you are replacing a card in a slot that has a mechanical retention latch (MRL),
push the button on the end of the MRL and lift the MRL flap (see
FIGURE 4-6).
■ If you are replacing a card in a slot that does not have an MRL, remove the
securing screw and the retaining bracket from the slot (see
FIGURE 4-7).
