Servicing PCIe Risers
PCIe cards in all slots are installed on vertical risers. You must remove the relevant riser to
remove and replace a PCIe card. You must remove all three PCIe risers when replacing the
motherboard.
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid damage,
ensure that you follow antistatic practices to “Prevent ESD Damage” on page 41.
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing PCIe
risers, or damage to the PCIe cards installed in the risers might occur. You must disconnect all
power cables from the system before performing these procedures.
