Note: The procedure for removing a PCIe adapter is similar for different types of riser assembly. In
this topic, the LP-FH riser assembly is used as an example.
After you finish
1. Install a PCIe adapter or PCIe adapter filler. See “Install a PCIe adapter” on page 94.
2. If you are instructed to return the component or optional device, follow all packaging instructions, and

About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 35 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 36 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 44.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the PCIe adapter to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the PCIe adapter out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Locate the correct PCIe slot for the PCIe adapter. For information about the PCIe slots and
supported PCIe adapters, see
“Rear view” on page 16.
