Removing the riser-card assembly The server comes with an HTX riser-card assembly that contains an HTX adapter slot. You can replace the riser-card assembly with one that contains a PCI Express connector (x16 lanes) or one that contains a PCI-X 64-bit 133 MHz connector. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/ us/ for a list of riser-card assemblies that you can use with the server. Access holes Release tabs Complete the following steps to remove the riser-card assembly. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 35. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords. 4. Pull the server out of the rack. 5. Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 39). 6. Push the two retention latches on the riser-card assembly toward the microprocessor 2 socket; then, grasp the assembly at the rear and side edges and lift it to remove it from the server. Place the riser-card assembly on a flat, static-protective surface. 84 IBM System x3655 Type 7985: Problem Determination and Service Guide
