Removing Accessory Boards

The HP Server has eight hot swap PCI board slots and two non-hot swap PCI board slots. You can
remove a hot plug PCI I/O board without shutting down the server, but you must use the operating
system or a resident GUI to shut down or power off the PCI I/O board before removing it. The HP
Server must be shut down before installing a non-hot plug PCI board.
CAUTION

Removing a Non-Hot Plug PCI Board

To remove a non-hot plug PCI board, complete the following steps:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions for handling electronic components.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3. Power down the server by pressing and holding the Power button on the Front Control Panel.
You may have to hold the Power button down for several seconds. Remove both AC power
cords. Removing the power cords ensures that the server is not under standby power.
WARNING
4. Pull the chassis out of the rack as far as it will go.
5. Loosen the two thumbscrews in the back of the chassis that secure the rear cover.
6. Lift the rear cover to expose the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.
7. Loosen the screw that secures the non-hot plug PCI adapter board cover.
8. Grasp the cover by its exposed, long side and lift the cover away from the chassis. You can
completely remove the cover by unseating the slot hinge. Access is now available to the two
non-hot plug PCI slots and the Legacy I/O board.
9. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the board you are going to remove.
10. Release the plastic retaining mechanism (I/O Card Guide) that secures the end of the board
nearest the front of the chassis.
Expansion slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots to maintain the
electromagnetic emission characteristics of the server and to ensure proper
cooling of the system.
Make sure that the rack is anchored securely, so it will not tip when the server
chassis is extended.
