PCI I/O Card Replacement
The side service bay contains card slots for 10 PCI I/O cards (slots 3 through 12) and 2 Core I/O
cards (slots 1 and 2).
Prior to replacing PCI cards, perform the steps listed below:
• Power down the server.
• Detach all power cords from the server.
To replace a Core or PCI I/O card, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the I/O card guide (item 1) on the outside of the Fan Assembly Housing. Orient the
I/O card into its guide slot and push it into the server until the card connector seats in the
I/O Backplane card connector.
NOTE: Each I/O card guide contains two slots. The top slot is aligned with the I/O Backplane
card connector.
2. Connect the I/O cable attached to the I/O card at the rear PCI bulkhead.
3. Connect any ribbon cable connectors attached to the I/O card in the side service bay.
