You can use the following steps to move the PCIe risers and mezzanine card from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller module.
- Move PCIe risers one and two (when counting from left and going right) from the impaired controller module to the replacement controller module.
- Remove any SFP or QSFP modules that might be in the PCIe cards.
- Rotate the riser locking latch on the left side of the riser up and toward air duct.
The riser raises up slightly from the controller module.
- Lift the riser up, and then move it to the replacement controller module.
- Loosen the thumbscrews on the mezzanine card, and gently lift the card back and out of the socket, and then move it to the replacement controller module.
- Repeat this step for riser number 2.
- Remove riser card number 3 (far right), remove the mezzanine card, and install both into the replacement controller module:
- Remove any SFP or QSFP modules that might be in the PCIe and mezzanine cards.
- Rotate the riser locking latch on the left side of the riser up and toward air duct.
The riser raises up slightly from the controller module.
- Lift the riser up, and then set it aside on a stable, flat surface.
- Loosen the thumbscrews on the mezzanine card, and gently lift the card directly out of the socket, and then move it to the replacement controller module.
- Install the mezzanine in the replacement controller and secure it with the thumbscrews.
- Install the third riser in the replacement controller module directly over the mezzanine card.
