Xserve G5 Take Apart - 15 RAID Card
Procedure
1. Release the thumbscrew that secures the PCI/PCI-X card(s) to the back of the server
and swing the metal cover open.
Note: The thumbscrew is captive; you cannot remove it.
2. Carefully pull the RAID card back from the connector on the PCI riser. Then tilt the
card so that its cables clear the enclosure, and lift the card a short distance out of the
server.
Warning: When removing or installing the RAID card, handle it only by the edges. Do
not touch its connectors or any of the components on the card. Lift the card straight
out from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight into the connector to install
it. Do not rock the card from side to side and don’t force the card into the slot. Once
the replacement card is installed, pull on it gently to check that it is properly
connected.
Important: Be careful not to lift the card too high or with too much force, because it is
attached to the server by the card cables. You’ll detach the cables in the next step.
