If you are removing one or more external interconnect assemblies and will return them to the server (for example, because you are removing them to gain access to other components), you must return them to their original locations in the server. Take care to properly label each slot and assembly to ensure that it is properly reinstalled.
See Servicing CMIOUs and Servicing Switch Units.
Caution - The small connector pins on the back of the assembly are susceptible to damage. Remove the assembly slowly to avoid bending or otherwise damaging them. In addition, take care to avoid flexing or twisting these assemblies. |
When the spring-loaded screw springs out, press on the upper screw at each end of the external interconnect to unlatch the assembly from the chassis.
