1005r Server Maintenance and Diagnostics 151
Replacing the RAID card
The RAID card is in low-profile slot 1 (counting from the top down) of
the PCI riser assembly.
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 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.
.
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.
