PCIe card This section describes how to remove and install a PCIe card. Removing a PCIe card 1. Disconnect power from the workstation (see Predisassembly procedures on page 73). 2. Remove the side access panel (see Removing the side access panel on page 75). NOTE: An expansion card support is built into the side access panel. When the panel is removed, the card support is removed, allowing access to the expansion cards. 3. Remove all cables connected to the PCIe card. 4. Push down on the expansion card retention clamp levers on the outside of the chassis to open the retention clamp as shown in the following figure . If necessary, disconnect the auxiliary power cable (not illustrated). Figure 5-76 Removing the PCIe card 5. Release the PCIe card latch 2, and then carefully lift the card from the chassis . TIP: When removing a long card, lift it slightly out of connector, then release the card guide latch at the front. Store the card in an antistatic bag. 6. If you are removing a PCIe card without a release lever, lift the card out of the slot. 7. If you are not installing a PCIe card, install a PCI slot cover and close the PCI retention clamp. NOTE: It is normal for the expansion card retention clamp to have a slight (5-10 degree) angle when closed. If the angle is greater than this, open the clamp and ensure that all cards are properly seated and all the brackets are mated to the chassis, then re-close the clamp.
