Removing or Replacing a PCI Hot Plug Expansion Board

To remove or replace a PCI Hot Plug expansion board:

1. Open the top access door of the server.

2. If the PCI Hot Plug green LED is on, power down the slot by pressing the PCI

Hot Plug button corresponding to the slot or by using a PCI Hot Plug software
application. Wait until the flashing green LED is off. For more information about
PCI Hot Plug LEDs, refer to “PCI Hot Plug LED Indicators” earlier in this
chapter.

CAUTION: To avoid system power-down and subsequent data loss, do not open
the slot release lever unless the green PCI Hot Plug LED of the slot is off.

3. Disconnect the cables to the PCI/PCI-X board when the green LED of the slot

is off.
