7. Grasp the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card divider by the handle, and pull upward to eject the
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card from the slot.
8. Grasp the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card by the edges and lift it out of the chassis.
CAUTION: When inserting the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card, be careful that you do not accidentally
touch an Attention button on the other MRLs; this shuts down that PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card slot. If
you do this, push the Attention button again within five seconds to cancel the shutdown.
Also, ensure that you fully seat the card into the slot or the card can fail after power is reapplied
to the slot.
9. Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card into the empty slot, and use firm, even pressure to seat the
card in the slot.
10. Reconnect all internal and external cables to the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card.
11. Close the MRL.
a. Rotate the MRL downward 90 degrees.
b. Push the edge of the MRL down until it clicks into place on the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card
bulkhead.
12. Close the gate latch to secure the end of the card if it is full-length.
13. Activate the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card and slot.
a. Press the red Attention button located on the MRL of the appropriate slot, and the power
LED starts to blink.
b. Wait until the power LED goes from blinking to steady on.
NOTE: After pushing the Attention button, you have five seconds to cancel the operation by
pushing the Attention button again. After five seconds, pressing the Attention button initiates
slot powerdown for online replacement (OLR) of the card.
14. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 166).
Removing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card Offline
Observe the following warning and cautions before performing an offline removal of a
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card.
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been disconnected
from the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is 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 removing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card offline.
Failure to follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
CAUTION: Record the slot location of all PCI cards as they are removed. Depending on the
operating system, replacing the PCI cards in a different location may require system reconfiguration
and may cause boot failure.
To remove a PCI card from the server with the power off, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See “Powering Off the Server”
(page 82).
2. If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from
the Rack” (page 164).
3. Remove the top cover from the chassis. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 165).
