CAUTION: In the next step, do not pull too hard because the cable assembly is attached to
the SAMP card.

one hand and the other hand under the support bracket near the captive screw and pulling
straight up (see Figure 29: Removing/replacing the SAMP card on the S8500B server
on
page 117).
3. Disconnect the cable assembly from the SAMP and from the motherboard (see
Figure 29: Removing/replacing the SAMP card on the S8500B server
on page 117).

slot before you apply power to the S8500B server. Incomplete insertion might
cause damage to the system board or to the SAMP card.
