Removing an expansion slot blank in slot 7

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power On/Standby button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.

CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, blanks, or the optional mezzanine tray installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.

To remove the component:

  1. Power down the server.
  2. Remove all power:
    1. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
    2. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
  3. Extend the server from the rack.
  4. Remove the access panel.
  5. Remove the expansion slot blank.
