Remove / Install the cache directory card on type 2748, 2757, 2763, 2778, 2780, 2782, 5703, 5709, 571B, 571E, and 573D cards

How to remove and replace the cache directory card.

Important: All cards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Read Working with electrostatic discharge-sensitive parts before performing this procedure. This procedure should only be performed if directed from an isolation procedure.
  1. Is the cache directory card on a type 5709 or 573D (RAID enablement) card?
  2. Remove the card using the concurrent card removal and replacement procedure for the model or expansion unit that you are working on (see Removing and replacing parts).
  3. Choose one of the following:
    • For type 2748, 2763, and 2778 cards, continue with the next step.
    • For type 2757, 2780, 2782, 5703, 5709, 571B, and 573D cards, go to step step 7.
    • For type 571E cards, go to step 10.
  4. Locate the cache directory card B. It is a small rectangular card mounted on the I/O card (see Figure 1).

    Spread the tabs on each side of the cache directory card, and raise the back of the cache directory card B up and away from the I/O card. The cache directory card will pivot up about 20 degrees.

  5. Pull the cache directory card out.
  6. Install the replacement cache directory card by wiggling it into place at a 20-degree angle before pushing it down and locking the tabs. Be sure that the holes on each side of the cache directory card are filled by the pegs on the cache card to ensure proper seating. This ends the procedure.
  7. Locate the cache directory card B. It is a small rectangular card mounted on the I/O card (see Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 or Figure 6).
  8. Unseat the connector on the cache directory card by wiggling the two corners that are farthest from the mounting peg by using a rocking motion. Then, pivot the cache directory card back over the mounting peg to disengage the cache directory card from the mounting peg.
    Note: For the type 2757 card, do not remove the larger card with the two mounting pegs.
  9. Install the replacement card by seating it on the connector and mounting peg. This ends the procedure.

  10. Locate the cache directory card B. To locate the cache directory card for your card type, refer to the graphics listed in step 9. In the graphics the B designation is always the cache directory card.
  11. Loosen the retaining screw located on the cache directory card one full turn. Do not remove the retaining screw.
  12. Unseat the cache directory card from the connector. To unseat and remove the cache directory card, wiggle the card back and forth toward the plastic card handle, then lift the cache directory card up and off the retaining screw.
  13. Install the replacement cache directory card. To install the replacement cache directory card, place it down over the retaining screw, then slide it away from the plastic card handle to fully seat it in the connector.
  14. Tighten the retaining screw. This ends the procedure.
