Servicing PCIe Cards
This section describes how to service PCIe cards. PCIe cards are replaceable, hot-pluggable components that do not require you to power off the server for service. For more information about replaceable components, see Illustrated Parts Breakdown and Replaceable Components.
Refer to your PCIe card documentation for complete software and cabling information about your card.
 | Caution - Customers must not use the procedures in this section to service the Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card that is located in PCIe slot 11 or the Oracle Flash Accelerator F640 6.4 TB add-in SSD cards (EF and HC only). These cards must be serviced only by authorized Oracle Service personnel. |
 | Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid damage, ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in Take Antistatic Measures. |
| Caution - The Oracle Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card, Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Adapter M3 card, and Oracle Dual Port 100 Gb Ethernet Adapter are not hot-pluggable and therefore you need to power off the server and disconnect the power cables from the system before you remove or install these cards. |
Note - For a complete list of supported PCIe cards, refer to the Oracle Server X8-2L Product Notes at http://www.oracle.com/goto/x8-2l/docs.
