3.4.3 Replacing an HP ProLiant DL385 PCI Card
When replacing a PCI adapter card, you need a grounding strap. The adapter card is sensitive
to electrostatic discharge. Take care to avoid mishandling, which could damage the card. Before
beginning installation, and without removing the adapter card from its antistatic bag, inspect
the card for any signs of obvious damage, such as chipped or loose components.
To replace an HP ProLiant DL385 G1 PCI card, follow these steps:
1. Attach the grounding strap to your wrist or ankle and to a metal part of the chassis.
2. Power off the server.
3. Remove the server from the rack.
4. Remove the access panel from the server, and locate the PCI riser cage.
5. Disconnect any cables connected to any existing expansion boards.
