that has been in operation.

To back up the media server before you power it down:

1. Connect the services laptop to the port labeled 2 (LAN 2) on the rear of the media server

using the crossover cable. See Figure 6: S8500B Media Server, rear view on page 12.

2. Open a browser window on the laptop.

6 Replacing the SAMP in the S8500B Media Server

!CAUTION:

CAUTION: In the next step, do not pull too hard because the cable assembly is attached to

the SAMP card.

2. Remove the riser-card assembly by holding the narrow (interior) part of the assembly with

one hand and the other hand under the support bracket near the captive screw and pulling

straight up (see Figure 2: Removing/replacing the SAMP card on page 5).

3. Disconnect the cable assembly from the SAMP and from the motherboard (see

Figure 2: Removing/replacing the SAMP card on page 5).

4. Remove the old SAMP card from the PCI-X slot 1 by pulling the card gently out of the

expansion slot.

5. Carefully grasp the new SAMP by the top edges or upper corners and align it with the PCI-X

slot 1 opening on the riser-card assembly. Press the SAMP firmly into the expansion slot.

!CAUTION:

CAUTION: Make sure the SAMP card is completely and correctly seated in the expansion

slot before you apply power to the S8500B Media Server. Incomplete insertion

might cause damage to the system board or to the SAMP card.

6. Replace the cable assembly from the SAMP to the motherboard (see Step 3) with the

replacement cable (shipped with the replacement SAMP).

7. Reinstall the riser-card assembly, making sure that

●The riser-card assembly is aligned with the two guides and fully seated in the riser-card

connector.

●The ribbon cable is routed so that it is not pinched.
