Remove PCIe Riser From Server Nodes
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to static
discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you
follow antistatic practices as described in“Performing Electrostatic Discharge and Antistatic
Prevention Measures” on page 146.
Remove PCIe Riser From Server Nodes
Note - Information in this appendix does NOT apply to Oracle Database Appliance X3-
2, Oracle Database Appliance X4-2, Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 or Oracle Database
Appliance X6 series. Refer to the preceding chapters in this document for information on
servicing those systems.
This section describes removing a PCIe Riser from Oracle Database Appliance Version 1.
1.
Prepare the server node for service.
a.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
See “Performing Electrostatic Discharge and Antistatic Prevention
Measures” on page 146.
b.
Remove the server node from the system.
Power is removed from the server node when you remove it from the system. See
“Removing Server Nodes From the System Chassis” on page 147.
c.
Remove the server node top cover.
See “Removing the Server Node Top Cover” on page 149.
2.
If you are servicing a PCIe card, locate its position on the riser.
3.
Disconnect any data cables connected to the cards on the PCIe riser being
removed.
To disconnect a cable from a PCIe card, press the latch, push in toward the connector, and then
pull out to remove the cable.
Note the location of all cables for reinstallation later.
4.
Ensure that the latch adjacent to the location where PCIe riser is installed is in
the open (down) position [1].
If the latch is in the closed position, it prevents you from removing the PCIe riser.
