Removing Adapters

Before you begin:

Read “Safety Considerations” on page 4-2 and “Handling Static Sensitive
Devices” on page 4-3.
Remove the server cover (see “Removing the Cover” on page 4-4).

1. Note the location of the adapter you are removing.

Note: If the adapter you are removing has a grounding strap or a plate that

attaches it to the frame of the server, remove it now.

2. Remove the expansion-slot thumbscrew for the adapter; then grasp the adapter

and pull it free from the socket.

Note: If the adapter you are removing has a ground wire or a bracket attached

to the frame of the server, remove it now.

3. Place the removed adapter in a safe place, such as a static-protection bag if one

is available.

4. If you are not replacing the adapter in this slot, install an expansion-slot cover

into the empty expansion slot.

5. Go to “Device Records” on page A-2 and update the system information. Return

here to continue.
