Replacing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card Divider

To replace a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card divider, follow these steps:

1.Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card divider locking tabs into the slots on the I/O board assembly.

2.Push down firmly to seat the card divider into the slots on the I/O board assembly.

3.Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 182).

4.If rack installed, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the Rack” (page 180).

5.Reconnect the power cables and power on the server. See “Powering On the Server” (page 94).

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe cards are located on the I/O board assembly. Cards dedicated to core I/O functions require the server be powered off for card replacement. Core I/O cards have designated slots on the I/O board assembly. The remaining PCI/PCI-X/PCIe cards are hot-pluggable. Software intervention is required prior to removing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card. This section describes the following hot-plug operations and PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card replacement procedures:

•“PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Configurations” (page 62)

Describes PCI/PCI-X/PCIe capabilities and relates card functions and capabilities to specific slots.

•“Online Addition (OLA)” (page 198)

Describes the installation of new PCI/PCI-X/PCIe expansion cards in previously empty slots without powering down the server.
