WARNING: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet.

2Rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on a flat surface.

3Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 90.

4Remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on page 92.

5Remove the VFlash media card (if installed) from the iDRAC6 Enterprise card. See "VFlash Media (Optional)" on page 133.

6If present, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the iDRAC6 Enterprise card.

7Remove the iDRAC6 Enterprise card:

aPull back slightly on the two tabs at the front edge of the card and gently lift the front edge of the card off of the retention standoffs.

As the card releases from the standoffs, the connector under the card disengages from the system board connector.

bSlide the card away from the back of the system until the RJ-45 connector is clear of the back panel and then lift the card out of the system. See Figure 3-20.

8Install the plastic filler plug for the iDRAC6 Enterprise port in the system back-panel.

9Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on page 93.
