Removing and Replacing the SCSI Core I/O Card
The HP Integrity rx4640 server has two I/O card slots that are dedicated for core I/O cards.
PCI Slot Locations and Configurations
PCI slots are numbered from 1 through 8 in your HP server. Figure 4-30 shows the core I/O card locations on
the I/O baseboard. The dedicated core I/O card slots are slots 1 and 2.
The following describes configuration requirements for slots 1 and 2:
• PCI slot 1 is dedicated for use by a SCSI HBA card. Slot 1 is not hot-plug capable. Additional PCI
expansion cards may not be placed in slot 1.
• PCI slot 2 is dedicated for use a LAN card. Slot 2 is not hot-plug capable. Additional PCI expansion cards
may not be placed in slot 2.
Removing the SCSI Core I/O Card
To remove the SCSI core I/O card in slot 1, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extending the Server
from the Rack” on page 39.
Step 2. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” on page 43.
Step 3. Disconnect any internal and external SCSI cables connected to the SCSI core I/O card.
Step 4. Open the blue PCI card latch for slot 1 by twisting it clockwise.
