Removing a PCI riser-card assembly
Note: A PCI riser-card assembly must be installed in slot 2 even if you do not
install an adapter.
To remove a PCI riser-card assembly, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the “Installation
guidelines” on page 167.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the
ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs are not lit when the power source is
removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which LEDs
are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, on the
light path diagnostics panel, and LEDs inside the server on the system board;
then, see “Light path diagnostics LEDs” on page 104 for information on how to
solve the problem.

4. If an adapter is installed in the PCI riser-card assembly, disconnect any cables
that are connected to the adapter.

PCI riser-card slot on the system board.
