Removing a PCIe Card
Removing a PCIe Card from the Riser Card
Procedure
- Power off the server.
For details, see Power-Off Procedure.
- Remove the power cables from the PSUs.
For details, see Removing PSU Cables.
- Remove the server.
For details, see Removing a 2488H V5.
- Place the server on the ESD workstation.
- Remove the chassis cover.
For details, see Removing the Chassis Cover.
- Determine the slot and position of the PCIe card.
For details, see PCIe Slots.
- Remove the PCIe riser modules.
For details, see Removing a PCIe Riser Module.
- Remove the PCIe card.
- Push the bucket outwards to release it. See (1) in Figure 8-165.
- Remove the PCIe card horizontally. See (2) in Figure 8-165.
- Remove the front panel of a faulty PCIe card.
- If the spare PCIe card does not have a front panel or the front panel of the spare PCIe card is inconsistent with that of the faulty PCIe card, use the faulty PCIe card front panel to replace the spare PCIe card front panel and then install the spare PCIe card on the server.
- If the front panel of the spare PCIe card is the same as that of the faulty PCIe card, no replacement is required.
- The number and positions of screws vary depending on the PCIe card front panel model.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws fastening the front panel and remove the front panel.. See (1) and (2) in Figure 8-166.
- Place the removed component in an ESD bag.
Place only one component in an ESD bag.
- Install a filler panel.
Perform this operation only when a PCIe card is not installed immediately.

- The number and positions of screws vary depending on the PCIe card front panel model.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws fastening the front panel and remove the front panel.. See (1) and (2) in Figure 8-169.
- Place the removed component in an ESD bag.
Place only one component in an ESD bag.
- Install a filler panel.
Perform this operation only when a PCIe card is not installed immediately.
