Step 6.
Stand the blade server upright on a clean, flat work surface, with the scalability filler connector
facing up.
Step 7.
Open the lower handle (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade server to sit flat on the
work surface.
Step 8.
Remove the scalability filler from the blade server or 2-node scalability card (see "Installing the 2-
node Scalability card" on page 85). To remove the scalability filler, complete the following steps:
a.
Using the 3/16" hex driver that is provided with the 1-node speed burst card, loosen the nut
that attaches the filler to the blade server.
b.
Lift the filler off the blade server.
Step 9.
Align the pins on the bottom of the 1-node speed burst card with the holes on the scalability
connector on the blade server.
Step 10. Press down firmly so that the 1-node speed burst card is flush with the scalability connector on the
blade server.
Step 11. Tighten the screw on the filler by hand to ensure that the screw threads start properly.
Important: Always hand tighten the screw before using the 3/16" hex driver.
Step 12. Using the 3/16" hex driver, tighten the nut that attaches the 1-node speed burst card to the blade
server.
Note: If you are using a torque driver, the correct torque is 15 in-lb.
Step 13. Install the optional expansion unit, if you removed one from the blade server (see "Installing an
expansion unit" on page 75 for instructions).
Step 14. Install the cover onto the blade server (see "Installing the blade server cover" on page 73 for
instructions).
Step 15. 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).
Removing the 2-node scalability card
Use this information to remove the 2-node scalability card from a blade server.
To remove the 2-node scalability card, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 65.
Step 2.
If the blade server or scalable blade complex is installed in a BladeCenter chassis, remove it. See
"Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter chassis" on page 66 for instructions.
Step 3.
Remove the cover for the topmost blade server (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 71
for instructions).
Step 4.
Stand the blade servers upright on a clean, flat work surface, with the scalability connector on the
blade servers facing up.
Step 5.
Release the lower handles (rotate the lower handles down) to allow the blade servers to sit flat on
the work surface.
