1. Read the documentation that comes with the management card, if you ordered
a replacement card.
2. Locate the connector on the currently installed system board into which the
management card will be installed. See "System-board connectors" on page 9
for the location.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the management card to any
unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface
on any other grounded rack component; then, remove the management card
from its package.
4. Verify that both of the connector retaining clips are in the fully open position.
5. Turn the management card so that the management card aligns correctly with
the connector on the system board.
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the management
card connectors, open and close the clips gently.
6. Insert the management card by pressing the management card along the guides
into the connector. Make sure that the retaining clips snap into the closed
position.
Important: If there is a gap between the management card and the retaining
clips, the management card has not been correctly installed. In this case, open
the retaining clips and remove the management card. Then reinsert the
management card.
7. Install and close the blade server cover. See "Installing and closing the blade
server cover" on page 245.
Statement 21
CAUTION:
Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power
source. Always replace the blade server cover before installing the blade
server.
8. Install the blade server into the BladeCenter unit. See "Installing the blade
server in a BladeCenter unit" on page 242.
Because the system board and chassis assembly has not changed, the firmware
initializes the management card VPD using data that the blade server cached.
To ensure that you give the initialization enough time to complete, access the
management module and wait for the management module to discover the
blade server.
Attention: If the management card was not properly installed, the power-on
LED blinks rapidly and a communication error is reported to the management
module. If this occurs, remove the blade server from the BladeCenter, as
described in "Removing the management card" on page 253. Reseat the
management card, then reinstall the blade server in the BladeCenter.
