Installing an optional expansion unit
Use these instructions to install an optional expansion unit.
Attention: If a horizontal combination-form-factor (CFFh) expansion card is installed on the blade server
system board, you cannot install an optional expansion unit.
Notes:
1. For information on installing an optional expansion unit in the IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration
Blade XI50B Type 4195 appliance, see the Installation and User's Guide that came with the blade
appliance.
2. All devices should be installed in an expansion unit before attaching it to the blade server.
3. After you install one or more expansion units on your blade server, the combined blade server and
expansion units together occupy adjacent blade bays in the BladeCenter unit. Enough power modules
must be installed in the BladeCenter unit to power the blade bays in which you install the blade server
and expansion units.
