Replacing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card Divider
To replace a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card divider, follow these steps:
1. Insert the PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card divider locking tabs into the slots on the I/O board assembly.
2. Push down firmly to seat the card divider into the slots on the I/O board assembly.
3. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the Top Cover” (page 182) .
4. If rack installed, slide the server completely into the rack. See “Inserting the Server into the
Rack” (page 180) .
5. Reconnect the power cables and power on the server. See “Powering On the Server”
(page 94) .
Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Card
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe cards are located on the I/O board assembly. Cards dedicated to core I/O functions
require the server be powered off for card replacement. Core I/O cards have designated slots on
the I/O board assembly. The remaining PCI/PCI-X/PCIe cards are hot-pluggable. Software
intervention is required prior to removing a PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card. This section describes the
following hot-plug operations and PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card replacement procedures:
• “PCI/PCI-X/PCIe Configurations” (page 62)
Describes PCI/PCI-X/PCIe capabilities and relates card functions and capabilities to specific
slots.
• “Online Addition (OLA)” (page 198)
Describes the installation of new PCI/PCI-X/PCIe expansion cards in previously empty slots
without powering down the server.
