5.4 Removing and Replacing the Adapter
 
 

 

 
  Removing the adapter

To remove the adapter:

  1. Turn off the HMC and all attached devices. Then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
  2. Unlock and remove the side cover. (Refer to Removing and Replacing the Cover.)
  3. Disconnect any cables to the adapter or any cables that impede access to the adapter.
  4. If you are removing a full-length adapter, press on the retaining tab on the left side of the front adapter-retention bracket until the release lever on the right side of the bracket clicks into place.
  5. Remove the expansion-slot screw at the rear of the adapter.
  6. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and pull the adapter from the HMC.

Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed in all empty slots. This maintains the electronic emissions standards of the computer and ensure proper ventilation of computer components.

  1. If the adapter is not being replaced, install an expansion-slot cover in the expansion-slot opening.
  2. If you are instructed to return the adapter, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials that are supplied to you for shipping.
