Removing and installing an I/O expansion card

Add an I/O expansion card to the blade server to provide additional connections for communicating on a
network.
The blade server supports various types of I/O expansion cards, including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre
Channel, and Myrinet expansion cards.
Verify that any expansion card that you are using is listed on the ServerProven Web site in the list of
supported expansion cards for the PS700 blade server. For example, the following expansion cards are not
supported by the PS700 blade server:
v BladeCenter SFF Gb Ethernet
v Cisco 1X InfiniBand

v Broadcom 1Gb Ethernet (CIOv)
v SAS 3Gb Expansion Card (CIOv)
v Emulex 4Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv)
v Qlogic 4Gb SFF Fibre Channel Expansion card (CIOv)
See the ServerProven Web site for information about supported operating-system versions and all PS700
