Replacing the SD adapter
Use this information to replace a SD adapter.
Important: If your SD adapter option comes with VMware vSphere ESXi software preloaded, you must make
configuration changes to your system UEFI before installing the SD adapter in your compute node. See the
documentation that comes with the SD adapter and "Using the Setup utility" on page 32 for information
and instructions.
Before you install the SD adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 101.
2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see "Removing a compute
node from a chassis" on page 104 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with
the bezel pointing toward you.
To install the SD adapter, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Remove the cover (see "Removing the compute node cover" on page 113).
Step 2.
Remove PCI riser-card assembly 2 (see "Removing a PCI riser-cage assembly" on page 176).
Step 3.
Insert the SD cards into the SD adapter.
Step 4.
Align the SD adapter with the alignment pins and connector; then, push downwards until it
is firmly seated.
Step 5.
Fasten the two screws.

comes with the option, for information about how to configure the SD adapter.
Step 7.
Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.
Step 8.
Reinstall the cover (see "Installing the compute node cover" on page 115).
Step 9.
Slide the server into the rack.
