4. Remove the cable management device from the controller module and set it aside.
5. Press down on both of the locking latches, and then rotate both latches downward at the same time.
The controller module moves slightly out of the chassis.
6. Slide the controller module out of the chassis.
Make sure that you support the bottom of the controller module as you slide it out of the chassis.
7. Place the controller module on a stable, flat surface.
Step 3: Replace a PCIe card
To replace a PCIe card, you must locate the failed PCIe card, remove the riser that
contains the card from the controller module, replace the card, and then reinstall the PCIe
riser in the controller module.
You can use the following animation, illustration, or the written steps to replace a PCIe card.
Replacing a PCIe card
1. Remove the riser containing the card to be replaced:
a. Open the air duct by pressing the locking tabs on the sides of the air duct, slide it toward the back of
the controller module, and then rotate it to its completely open position.
b. Remove any SFP or QSFP modules that might be in the PCIe cards.
c. Rotate the riser locking latch on the left side of the riser up and toward air duct.
