Replacing the I/O Backplane Assembly
To replace the I/O backplane assembly:
1. Transfer any I/O cards from the removed I/O backplane assembly to the replacement I/O
backplane assembly.
2. Align the tabs with the guide slots in the server and slide the I/O backplane assembly into
place.
3. Tighten the two captive screws. See Figure 60.
a. Press the black knob down while turning it clockwise until it is fully tightened.
b. While holding the black knob and pressing down, press and release the blue button to
lower the black knob to the locked position.
4. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 142).
5. If rack mounted, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the
Rack” (page 141).
6. Connect any external cables to the I/O cards in the I/O backplane assembly.
7. Reconnect the power cables and power on the server. See “Powering On and Powering Off
the Server” (page 77).
Removing and Replacing a PCI-X/PCIe Card
PCI-X/PCIe cards are located in the I/O backplane assembly. There are three public slots available
in the I/O backplane assembly. Removing or installing PCI-X/PCIe cards requires that the server
be powered off. Depending on which I/O backplane was purchased, the I/O backplane assembly
can contain three PCI-X slots, or a combination of PCI-X and PCIe slots (two PCIe slots, and one
PCI-X slot). Figure 61 (page 164) shows the PCIe/PCI-X and PCI-X slot locations.
Removing a PCI-X/PCIe Card
Observe the following warnings and cautions before removing a PCI-X/PCIe card.
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected from
the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations in the server whenever an AC power source is connected.
These voltages are present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
CAUTION: Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow
ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Record the slot location of all PCI-X/PCIe cards as they are removed. Depending on the operating
system, replacing PCI-X/PCIe cards in a different location might require system reconfiguration.
To remove a PCI-X/PCIe card:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering On and Powering Off
the Server” (page 77).
