Step 5.
If you are installing the CFFh card in a blade server that is the bottom blade server in a scalable
blade complex, disassemble the blade complex (see "Disassembling a scalable blade complex" on
page 68 for instructions).
Step 6.
If an IBM MAX5 expansion blade is installed, remove it (see "Removing an IBM MAX5 expansion
blade" on page 87 for instructions).
Step 7.
Open the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 71 for instructions).
Step 8.
Locate the blade server expansion connector (see "Blade server connectors - BladeCenter HX5" on
page 12).
Step 9.
If a cover is installed on the blade expansion connector, remove it by using your fingers to lift the
cover from the blade expansion connector.
Step 10. Touch the static-protective package that contains the expansion card to any unpainted metal
surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack
component; then, remove the expansion card from the package.
Step 11. Orient the expansion card and slide the slots at the back of the card onto the pins on the
expansion-card standoff; then, gently pivot the card into the blade server expansion connector.
Step 12. Firmly press the indicated locations to seat the expansion card.
Note: For device-driver and configuration information to complete the installation of the expansion
card, see the documentation that comes with the expansion card.
Step 13. If the blade server is part of a scalable blade complex, assemble the scalable blade complex (see
"Assembling a scalable blade complex" on page 70 for instructions).
Step 14. Install the IBM MAX5 expansion blade if you removed one (see "Installing an IBM MAX5 expansion
blade" on page 88 for instructions).
Step 15. Install the optional expansion unit, if you removed one from the blade server (see "Installing an
expansion unit" on page 97 for instructions).
Step 16. Install the cover onto the blade server (see "Installing the blade server cover" on page 73 for
instructions).
Step 17. Install the blade server or scalable blade complex into the BladeCenter chassis (see "Installing a
blade server in a BladeCenter chassis" on page 67 for instructions).
