The riser assembly you want to remove might be different from the following illustrations, but the removal 
method is the same. The following takes the LP-FH riser assembly as an example.
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.
