3. If the HP ProLiant DL380 is mounted in a rack, loosen the front pull tabs and slide the server
out so that you can open the top cover. Do not remove the server from the rails. If there is a
stabilizer foot, extend it so the enclosure does not tip forward.
4. Open the ProLiant DL380 top cover, remove it, and set it aside.
5. Look inside the ProLiant DL380 server to the back right-hand side where a pluggable module,
called the PCI Riser cage, houses the SCSI and Fibre adapters. You will see a two round blue
quick-release pull tabs that you need to open. Once loose, grasp the PCI Riser cage and pull up
to remove it from the DL380 chassis. Refer to the diagrams on top of the PCI Riser cage if you
have any questions about its removal. Set the PCI Riser cage on a flat surface that allows
ample access to the side of the module where the adapter cards can be accessed. Note the
blue tabs or pull tabs that allow each adapter to be removed from its slot.
6. Remove SCSI cards from the server as follows:
Note This order must be followed or the upgrade will not work. Every HP ProLiant DL380
server has SCSI and Fibre Channel cards in the same physical slots.
A Fibre Channel card is always in slot 1, the bottom slot; there is no reason to remove this
card. Slots 2 and 3 contain SCSI cards. A picture showing these slots follows:
The following order of SCSI card removal must be followed:
a. Remove the SCSI card in slot 3 and install the first Fibre Channel card in slot 3.
b. Remove the SCSI card in slot 2 and install the second Fibre Channel card in slot 2, if
necessary.
