Nortel Networks 1005r manual Replacing the dual NIC card

Replacing basic chassis components Standard 1.10

Replacing the dual NIC card

Your server has three low-profile PCI add-in cards. The RAID card is in slot 1 and the two dual NIC cards are in slots 2 and 3 (counting from top to bottom). The two dual NIC cards are reserved for future use.

CAUTION

Risk of electrical damage

„Wear an antistatic ESD wrist strap when handling cards or boards, or when working inside the server.

„Do not touch the components or gold-edge connectors of the cards.

„Place the card on an antistatic surface until you are ready to install it.

PCI add-in cards are not hot-swappable and you must power down the system before adding or replacing the cards.

CAUTION

Risk of physical equipment damage

Remove the 1005r from the rack, and place it on a solid surface when replacing or adding cards. The PCI riser assembly requires considerable force when inserting it into the connector, and physical damage can result if the assembly is not properly aligned.

Placing the server on a solid surface such as a workbench gives you a better view of the card alignment, and lets you exert the necessary force when inserting the assembly into the connector.
