Removing an adapter
To remove an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 141.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page
145).
4. Disconnect any cables from the adapter or any cables that impede access to
the adapter.
5. Open the rear retention bracket.
6. If you are removing a full-length adapter, press on the retaining tab (two blue
pull points) on the left side of the front adapter-retention bracket until the
release lever on the right side of the bracket clicks into place.
7. Remove the expansion-slot screw at the rear of the adapter if any.
8. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners. And pull the
adapter from the server.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed in all empty slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and ensures
proper ventilation of computer components.
