Removing a PCIe module
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform
troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or
telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by
your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION: The PCIe module is a warm-swappable component. The PCIe slot in a PCIe module is assigned to a
compute sled. Removing or adding a PCIe module while the compute sled to which it is assigned is on can result
in an error condition.
NOTE: You must remove a PCIe module to replace a faulty module, install or replace an expansion card in the PCIe module,
or service other components inside the system.
NOTE: The following procedure is only applicable to the PowerEdge FX2s system.
Ensure that you read the Safety instructions on page 33.
Steps
1. Turn off the compute sled to which the PCIe slot in the PCIe module is assigned, by using either the CMC, iDRAC, or sled
power button.
2. Press the release latch and slide the PCIe module out of the enclosure.
