     RAID Card Cables
    Procedure
    1. Release the thumbscrew that secures the PCI/PCI-X card(s) to the back of the server 
    and swing the metal cover open.
    Note:  The thumbscrew is captive; you cannot remove it.
    2. Carefully pull the RAID card back from the connector on the PCI riser. Then tilt the  card so that its port and cables clear the enclosure, and lift the card a short distance 
    out of the server.
    Warning:  When removing or installing the RAID card, handle it only by the edges. \
    Do 
    not touch its connectors or any of the components on the card. Lift the \
    card straight 
    out from the connector to remove it, and insert it straight into the con\
    nector to install 
    it. Do not rock the card from side to side and don’t force the card i\
    nto the slot. Once 
    the replacement card is installed, pull on it gently to check that it is\
     properly 
    connected. 
    Important:  Be careful not to lift the card too high or with too much force, becaus\
    e it is 
    attached to the server by the card cables. You’ll detach the cables i\
    n the next step.
