Removal/Replacement Instructions

This section describes removal and replacement for the HP-PB 100VG-AnyLAN Network Adapter.




	WARNING! Unless otherwise noted in your system manuals, removal of the network adapter should only be done with power removed from the host computer. Failure to comply may result in an electrical shock hazard, or in damage to the hardware.




	CAUTION: The adapter contains electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity. To avoid damage, follow these guidelines: Store adapters in their conductive plastic bags. If possible, work in a static-free area. Handle adapters only by the edges. Do not touch electronic components or electrical traces. We strongly recommend that you use a grounding wrist strap that is connected to the metallic chassis of the computer. If you do not have a wrist strap, touch the chassis before handling adapters, and frequently or continuously thereafter, to equalize any static charge.

For adapter removal, follow the procedures below:

Before removing the card, ensure that the operating system is shut down and power to the host computer is switched off. Consult your computer documentation for proper shutdown procedures to avoid file corruption or loss of data.
Disconnect all cabling from the adapter.
Consult your computer documentation for instructions on the best method for accessing the adapter slots.
Unscrew the two retaining screws and pull extractor levers out.
While holding extractor levers, slide the adapter out of its slot.
Place adapter in an antistatic bag.
Install a slot cover for proper cooling and RFI suppression.

To install a replacement adapter, follow the procedures described in the installation section.
