Complete the following steps to install an I/O expansion card:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on
page 19.
2. If the blade server is operating, shut down the operating system by typing the
shutdown -h now command. If the blade server was not turned off, press the
power-control button (behind the blade-server control-panel door) to turn off the
blade server. See "The control panel buttons and LEDs" on page 13 for more
information about the location of the power-control button.
3. Remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit (see "Removing the blade
server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 21 for information).
4. Carefully place the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
5. Open the cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 22 for
instructions).
6. Install the I/O expansion card tray:
a. If there is no IDE hard disk drive in IDE connector 2, remove the four
screws as shown in the previous illustration. Then, continue with step 6c.
b. If an IDE hard disk drive is in IDE connector 2, remove the hard disk drive
and tray. Save the four long screws that secured the tray to the system
board. Remove the riser card that connected the IDE hard disk drive to the
blade server system board.
c. Secure the tray to the system board with the screws from the option kit, as
shown in the previous illustration.
7. Install the I/O expansion card:
a. Orient the I/O expansion card as shown in the previous illustration.
b. Slide the notch in the narrow end of the card into the raised hook on the
tray; then, gently pivot the wide end of the card into the I/O expansion card
connectors, as shown in the previous illustration.
