Remove a PCIe Card From PCIe Slot 3
This is a cold-service procedure that can be performed by a customer. Power down the server
completely before performing this procedure.
1.
Remove the PCIe riser from the server.
See “Remove the PCIe Riser From PCIe Slots 3 and 4” on page 92.
2.
Remove the PCIe card from the riser.
a.
Hold the riser in one hand and use your other hand to carefully remove the
PCIe card connector from the riser.
b.
Disconnect the rear bracket attached to the PCIe card from the rear of the
PCIe riser.
3.
