Removing a PLIM
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Identify the card to be replaced.
Step 3
Loosen the two captive screws holding the card in place.
Step 4
Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 90 degrees (70 degrees for
a newer PLIM) away from the front edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane
connector.
Step 5
Grasp the slide-assistance arm (if installed) or the card carrier edges, and gently pull the PLIM halfway
from the slot.
