Step 5: Move the PCIe risers and mezzanine card
As part of the controller replacement process, you must move the PCIe risers and
mezzanine card from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller
module.
You can use the following animations, illustrations, or the written steps to move the PCIe risers and mezzanine
card from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller module.
Moving PCIe riser 1 and 2 (left and middle risers):

Moving the mezzanine card and riser 3 (right riser):
Moving the mezzanine card and riser 3
1. Move PCIe risers one and two from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller module:
a. Remove any SFP or QSFP modules that might be in the PCIe cards.
b. Rotate the riser locking latch on the left side of the riser up and toward air duct.
The riser raises up slightly from the controller module.
c. Lift the riser up, and then move it to the replacement controller module.
d. Align the riser with the pins to the side of the riser socket, lower the riser down on the pins, push the
riser squarely into the socket on the motherboard, and then rotate the latch down flush with the sheet
metal on the riser.
e. Repeat this step for riser number 2.
