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 JS23 or JS43 blade server.
For example, the following expansion cards are not supported by the JS23 or JS43
blade server:
v BladeCenter SFF Gb Ethernet
v Cisco 1X InfiniBand
v Qlogic iSCSI TOE Expansion Card (LFF)
v Broadcom 1Gb Ethernet (CFFv)
v SAS 3Gb Expansion Card (CFFv)
v Emulex 4Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFv)
v Qlogic 4Gb SFF Fibre Channel Expansion card (CFFv)
See the ServerProven Web site for information about supported operating-system
versions and all JS23 blade server and JS43 blade server optional devices.
