Installing a Non-Hot Plug PCI Board

Use this procedure to install a non-hot plug PCI accessory board. Observe the
safety guidelines listed earlier. The server must be shut down before installing a
non-hot plug PCI board.

1. If the HP Server is already installed and working, power down the HP

Server.

Refer to Chapter 1, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."

WARNING

The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the HP Server until the power cable is disconnected.

2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the HP

Server. If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.

WARNING

Make sure that the rack is anchored securely, so it will not tip
when the server chassis is extended.

3. Pull the chassis out of the rack.

CAUTION

Wear a wrist-strap and use a static-dissipating work surface
connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure
the metal of the wrist-strap contacts your skin.

4. Loosen the two thumbscrews in the back of the chassis that secure the rear

cover.

Refer to Chapter 2, "Opening and Closing the HP Server."
