Riser boards

To remove the component:

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server or expansion boards, power down the server and remove all AC power cords before removing or installing the PCI riser board assembly.
  1. Power down the node.

  2. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the node .

  3. Remove the node from the chassis.
  4. Remove the PCI riser cage assembly.
  5. In a three-slot riser cage assembly, remove the riser cage bracket from the three-slot riser cage assembly.
  6. Remove all expansion boards from the riser cage assembly.

  7. Disconnect all cables from the riser board.

  8. If replacing a riser board in a three-slot riser cage assembly, remove the PCIe transfer board.

  9. Remove the failed riser board.
    • PCIe x16 left riser board (Single-slot left PCI riser cage assembly)
      Removing the PCIe x16 left riser board from the single-slot left PCI riser cage assembly
    • PCIe x16 left riser board (Single-slot 2U node PCI riser cage assembly)
      Removing the PCIe x16 left riser board from the single-slot 2U node PCI riser cage assembly
    • PCIe x16 right 1U node riser board
      Removing the FlexibleLOM 1U node riser board
