Removing Adapters
Before you begin:
Read “Safety Considerations” on page 4-2 and “Handling Static Sensitive
Devices” on page 4-3.
Remove the server cover (see “Removing the Cover” on page 4-4).
1. Note the location of the adapter you are removing.
Note: If the adapter you are removing has a grounding strap or a plate that
attaches it to the frame of the server, remove it now.
2. Remove the expansion-slot thumbscrew for the adapter; then grasp the adapter
and pull it free from the socket.
Note: If the adapter you are removing has a ground wire or a bracket attached
to the frame of the server, remove it now.
3. Place the removed adapter in a safe place, such as a static-protection bag if one
is available.
4. If you are not replacing the adapter in this slot, install an expansion-slot cover
into the empty expansion slot.
5. Go to “Device Records” on page A-2 and update the system information. Return
here to continue.
