Nortel Networks 1005r manual Replacing the RAID card

June 2007 RAID operations

Replacing the RAID card

The RAID card is in low-profile slot 1 (counting from the top down) of the PCI riser assembly.

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 cards or boards.

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

PCI add-in cards are not hot-swappable. You must power down the system and remove the power cords before replacing the card.

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.
