Preparing For Component Replacement
This section contains procedures that are referred to from the replacement procedures.
Removing an S3260 M5 Server Node or I/O Expander Top Cover
The optional I/O expander and the server node use the same top cover. If an I/O expander is attached to the top of the server node, the top cover is on the I/O expander, as shown in the side view in the following figure. In this case, there is also an intermediate cover between the server node and the I/O expander.

Step 2 |
Reinstall the I/O expander to the server node:
|
||||||||
Step 3 |
Insert the four pegs of the alignment tool into the holes that are built into the connector side of the server node and I/O expander. Ensure that the alignment tool fits into all four holes and lies flat. The alignment tool is shipped with systems that are ordered with an I/O expander. It is also shipped with I/O expander replacement spares. You can order the tool using Cisco PID UCSC-C3K-M4IOTOOL.
