Remove a PCIe Card Carrier
The SPARC T5-4 server supports single-wide and double-wide card carriers. The removal steps
are the same for both carrier types. This topic includes illustrations only for the single-wide
carrier.
Note - If you are installing a PCIe card that requires a double-wide carrier, you must remove
two adjacent PCIe card carriers.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.
Note - Removing PCIe card carriers while the server is at the OpenBoot prompt is not
supported. The server must be either powered off, or booted into the Oracle Solaris OS.
