Servicing PCIe Cards (CRU)
This section describes how to service PCIe cards. PCIe cards are customer-replaceable units
(CRUs) that require you to power off the server. For more information about CRUs, see
“Illustrated Parts Breakdown” on page 19 and “Customer-Replaceable Units” on page 21.
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 as described in “Electrostatic Discharge
Safety” on page 50.
Caution - Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing
PCIe cards. You must disconnect all power cables from the system before performing these
procedures.
Note - For a complete list of supported PCIe cards, refer to the Oracle Server X7-2 Product
Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/x7-2/docs.
