Step 4.
Locate the blade expansion connector on the blade server system board or the expansion unit and
remove the cover if one is installed (see "Blade server connectors" on page 14).
Step 5.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the optional expansion unit to any unpainted
metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack
component; then, remove the optional expansion unit from the package.
Step 6.
Orient the optional expansion unit as shown in the illustration.
Step 7.
Lower the expansion unit so that the slots at the rear slide down onto the cover pins at the rear of
the blade server; then, pivot the expansion unit down onto the blade server.
Step 8.
If the expansion unit has an extraction device (such as a thumbscrew or a lever), use it to fully
engage the expansion unit on the blade server; otherwise, press the expansion unit firmly into the
closed position until it clicks into place. To install an optional GPU adapter into a GPU expansion
unit, see "Installing a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit" on page 30. To install
an option into another type of expansion unit, refer to the documentation provided with the
expansion unit.
Step 9.
If additional expansion units are being installed, repeat steps 4 through 8 for each expansion
blade; otherwise continue with step 11.
Step 10. Follow the instructions provided with the expansion unit to install an option in the expansion unit.
Step 11. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the
installation" on page 47.
