PCI Card Separator/Extractor Removal
PCI card separator/extractors are located in the Side Service Bay, between the PCI cards. PCI
card separator/extractors are plastic cards with two tab handles and two LEDs.
Before removing a PCI card separator/extractor from the server, perform the following tasks:
• Shut down the server.
• Remove the corresponding PCI card.
To remove a PCI card separator/extractor, perform the following steps:
1. Carefully slide a long shaft, medium width, flat blade screw driver (item 1) into the Side
Service Bay along the side of the PCI card separator/extractor, and insert it into the slot in
the hook tab (item 2).
2. At the point where the PCI card separator/extractor inserts into the PCI backplane connector
(item 2), there are two slotted, hook tab connectors on the PCI card separator/extractor, one
on either side of the PCI Backplane connector. Press one then the other to disengage the card
from the backplane.
3. With the two connection points pressed, slide the PCI card separator/extractor out of the
PCI card cage.
PCI Card Separator/Extractor Replacement
PCI card separator/extractors are located in the Side Service Bay on the PCI Backplane, between
PCI cards. PCI card separator/extractors are plastic cards with two tab handles and two LEDs.
To replace a PCI card separator/extractor, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the PCI card separator/extractor into the available slot and slide it into the PCI
backplane connector.
2. Be sure the two hook tabs on the PCI card separator/extractor insert into the connector blocks
on either side of the PCI backplane.
Once you have completed replacement of the PCI card separator/extractor into the server, perform
the following tasks:
• Replace the PCI card, if necessary.
• Power up the server.
HotPlug Disk Drive Removal
The internal disk drives (up to four) are located at the front right side of the server (as you are
facing it). When proper software and hardware procedures are followed, internal disk drives
can be removed and replaced while the server is running.
The procedures in this section are in two parts, a HotSwap Software Procedure and a HotPlug
Hardware Procedure, for removing the disk from the server.
