Replacing or Installing MSEB Plug-In Cards (PICs)

Preparing to Install or Remove a PIC
1 You need the following tools:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection kit●
#8 and #10 Torx screwdrivers●
Labels or removable sticky notes (to label the ServerNet cables)●
Flashlight (to check the backplane connectors for bent or broken pins) ●
2 If you are installing a PIC, unpack and inspect the PIC you will install.
Examine the connectors and pins in the connectors. If any damage is found,
obtain a good PIC before continuing.

Use appropriate ESD precautions and follow standard operating practices.
(See ESD Guidelines and Standard Operating Practices).
