This section describes how to service PCIe cards and PCIe Risers.
PCIe cards and PCIe risers are replaceable components that require you to power off the server before servicing. Foot 1
For more information about replaceable components, see Illustrated Parts Breakdown and Replaceable Components. For complete software and cabling information about your card, refer to your PCIe card documentation. For a complete list of supported PCIe cards, see Product Description.
Caution:
These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in Electrostatic Discharge Safety.Caution:
Ensure that all power is removed from the server before removing or installing PCIe cards. You must disconnect all power cables from the system before performing these procedures.Footnote Legend
