Removing an Expansion Card WARNING: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system. 1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82. 3 Disconnect all cables from the card. 4 Remove the expansion card: a Open the expansion-card latch. See Figure 3-11. b Grasp the expansion card by its edges, and carefully remove it from the expansion-card connector. 5 If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening and close the expansion-card latch. NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. 6 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83. Integrated Storage Controller Card Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the riser for an integrated SAS or PERC controller card that provides the integrated storage subsystem for your system's internal hard drives. The controller supports SAS and SATA hard drives and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID configurations as supported by the version of the storage controller included with your system.
