CAUTION:
CAUTION: Make sure the SAMP card is completely and correctly seated in the expansion
slot before you apply power to the S8500C server. Incomplete insertion might
cause damage to the motherboard or to the SAMP card.
6. Replace the cable assembly from the SAMP to the motherboard (see Step 3) with the
replacement cable (shipped with the replacement SAMP).
7. Reinstall the riser-card assembly, making sure that
l The riser-card assembly is aligned with the two guides and fully seated in the riser-card
connector.
l The ribbon cable is routed so that it is not pinched.
8. Tighten the captive screw on the SAMP riser-card assembly (Figure 22: Removing/
replacing the SAMP card on the S8500C server on page 102, note 1).
Replacing the cover of the S8500C server
To replace the cover on the S8500C server:
1. Replace the cover onto the server.
2. Slide the cover forward so that its tabs slide into place under the top slots of the front panel
and the release latches securely (see Figure 21: Release button on the S8500C server
on
page 101).
3. Slide the server back into place on the data rack.
4. Tighten the two front thumbscrews on the server securely into the rack.
