13. Power on the system for operation.
For instructions, see “Starting the 7063-CR2 system ” on page 98.
Removing and replacing PCIe adapters in the 7063-CR2
Learn how to remove and replace Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express (PCIe) adapters in
the IBM Power Systems HMC (7063-CR2) system.
About this task
Attention: For safety and airflow purposes, if you remove a PCIe adapter from the system, you
must ensure that a PCIe ller and a PCIe tail-stock ller are present.
Parts must be replaced with the identical part in the exact same place.
Removing a PCIe adapter from the 7063-CR2 system
To remove a PCIe adapter from the IBM Power Systems HMC (7063-CR2) system, complete the steps in
this procedure.
About this task
Attention: For safety and airflow purposes, if you remove a PCIe adapter from the system, you
must ensure that a PCIe ller and a PCIe tail-stock ller are present.
Parts must be replaced with the identical part in the exact same place.
Procedure
1. Power off the system.
For instructions, see “Stopping the 7063-CR2 system” on page 99.
2. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is
completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack,
or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap
is used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock
when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in this service process you move away from the system,
it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for at least
5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
3. Remove the system backplane from the rear of the system.
a) Label and remove the two power cables.
For instructions, see “Disconnecting the power cords from a 7063-CR2 system” on page 100.
b) Label and remove the signal cables from the rear of the system.
c) Loosen the two screws (A) on the sides of the system backplane as shown in the following gure.
