Removing a PCI I/O Assembly
1. Power off your system.
Refer to the Sun Fire Midrange Systems Platform Administration Manual
for complete procedures for powering off the assembly.
2. Place a grounded ESD mat close to the system.
3. Attach a wrist strap or foot strap. Connect the ESD strap to the system.
4. Completely loosen the four captive Phillips screws
5. Simultaneously pull the two ejector levers outward to unseat the
I/O assembly.
This action releases the board from the connectors.
6. Remove the assembly from the card cage.

Installing a PCI+ I/O Assembly
1. Line up the I/O assembly with the I/O assembly opening.
2. Slide the I/O assembly into the I/O assembly opening.
The ejector levers should be on the inside of the I/O assembly and in the
open position.
Caution – DO NOT FORCE any assembly into a slot; this can cause
damage to the assembly and system. The assembly should insert and
seat smoothly. If it binds, remove the assembly and inspect the card
cage slot for any obvious obstructions.
3. Simultaneously press the two ejector levers inward.
4. Tighten the four captive Phillips screws.
