Cisco UCS C480 M5 Service Manual

Step 1 Prepare the server for component installation:
a) Shut down and remove power from the server as described in Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
on page 35.
b) Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Caution
c) Remove the top cover from the server as described in Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 37.
Step 2 Remove any existing card or a blanking panel:
a) Open the hinged retainer bar that covers the top of the PCIe slot.
Use your fingertips to pull back on the wire locking-latches at each end of the retainer bar, and then hinge the bar
open to expose the tops of the PCIe slots.
b) Pull both ends of the card vertically to disengage the card from the socket, and then set it aside.
Step 3 Install a new PCIe card:
a) Carefully align the card edge with the socket while you align the card's rear tab with the rear panel opening.
b) Push down on both corners of the card to seat its edge connector in the socket.
c) Close the hinged retainer bar over the top of the PCIe slots.
Use your fingertips to pull back on the wire locking-latches at each end of the retainer bar, and then hinge it closed
to secure the tops of the PCIe slots. Push the wire locking-latches back to the forward, locked position.
Step 4 Replace the top cover to the server.
Step 5 Reconnect power cords to all power supplies and then allow the server to boot to standby power mode (indicated when
the front panel Power button LED lights amber).
Step 6 Fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
