To Replace the PCI Bracket
The universal host bus adapter (HBA) comes with a low-profile PCI bracket installed. This bracket is approximately 3.11 in. (7.9 cm) long. A standard mounting bracket, which is approximately 4.75 in. (12.06 cm), is provided in the ship kit box. You might need to perform the procedure in this section if the system in which you plan to install the universal HBA requires a standard mounting bracket.
If you do not know which PCI bracket you need to install, refer to your system documentation.
- Attach an ESD strap to your wrist, as described in Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.
- Remove all SFP+ modules from
the universal HBA, if any are installed (for instructions, see To Remove an SFP+ Optical Transceiver Module ).
Caution - Replacement of SFP+ modules with supported modules from Oracle does not void the warranty. Replacement of SFP+ modules with non-Oracle supported modules will void the warranty or serviceability of the universal HBA.
- Remove the mounting bracket screws from the universal HBA.
- Remove the bracket and store it for future use.
- Align the mounting bracket tabs
of the replacement bracket with the holes in the universal HBA.
Ensure that the LEDs are properly aligned with the holes in the bracket.
Note - Do not to push the bracket past the grounding tabs of the transceiver housing. - Replace the screws that attach the universal HBA to the bracket.
- Reinstall the SFP module(s), if removed in earlier in this procedure (for instructions, see To Install an SFP+ Optical Transceiver Module ).
