Note
Replacing a PCIe Card
If you are installing a Cisco Virtual Interface Card, there are prerequisite considerations. See Cisco Virtual
Interface Card (VIC) Considerations, on page 70.
Note
RAID controller cards install into a separate mRAID riser. See Replacing a SAS Storage Controller Card
(RAID or HBA), on page 74.
Note
Step 1 Remove an existing PCIe card (or a blank filler panel) from the PCIe riser:
a) Shut down and remove power from the server as described in Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
on page 29.
b) Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Caution
c) Remove the top cover from the server as described in Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 30.
d) Remove any cables from the ports of the PCIe card that you are replacing.
