Remove the Adapter

The following describes how to remove the adapter.

1. Disconnect the communications cables from the E4SA.

2. Put on your electrostatic discharge (ESD) wriststrap and connect the grounding clip

securely to an exposed, unpainted, metal surface on the service side of the system

enclosure, such as the processor multifunction (PMF) CRU or I/O multifunction

(IOMF) CRU ventilation holes

The figure shows how to connect the grounding clip to the ventilation holes on the

PMF or IOMF CRU.

3. Unlatch the ejector on the E4SA by pressing the blue-green tab on the ejector and

pulling the ejector outward to unseat the E4SA from the backplane.

4. Grasp the E4SA by its ejector in one hand and slowly pull the E4SA out of the slot

while supporting the bottom edge of the E4SA with the other hand.

Figure 3-6 on page 3-24 shows how to pull the E4SA out of the slot.
