Replacing or Installing a PIC
The replacement and installation instructions are the same for all types of
ServerNet/DA and CCSA PICs, although the cabling is different. For more information,
see the 6760 ServerNet/DA Manual and the 6763 Common Communication ServerNet
Adapter Installation and Support Guide.
Caution: Replace PICs on one ServerNet/DA or CCSA at a time. Replacing PICs
on more than one adapter at a time might cause connectivity problems, processor
halts, or a system outage.

pins in the connectors. If any damage is found, obtain a good PIC before
continuing.
