SPARC T5-4 Server Service Manual

Remove a PCIe Carrier Extension

Normally, it is not necessary to remove a carrier extension when you are replacing the PCIe card. However, if you are reconfiguring the server to remove a double-wide carrier, use the steps in this procedure.

1. Remove the PCIe carrier and carrier extension from the server.

   The PCIe carrier and extension are removed as a single unit. See Remove a PCIe Card Carrier.

2. Unlock the carrier extension at the front panel.
   
3. Hold the latch open, and swing the carrier extension away from the main carrier.
4. Remove the PCIe card from the main carrier.

   See Remove a PCIe Card.

5. Determine your next step:
   • If you are installing a new PCIe card, see Install a PCIe Card.
   • If you are not installing a PCIe card, proceed to Step 6.
6. Set the carrier extension aside, and install two PCIe card carriers in the slots that were occupied by the PCIe card carrier and the carrier extension.

   See Install a PCIe Card Carrier.
