5.3.5 Installing a Management Board (sMBE)

You can install either one or two sMBE at the front of the chassis. If two are installed, only one
sMBE operates as the master (active), while the other board is in standby mode (passive).
To install a sMBE board into the chassis:
1. Verify that the ejectors are unlocked by pressing the red button.
2. Carefully seat the board into the side guide rails. Slowly slide the board into the chassis until
the ejectors begin to engage on the chassis edge.
3. Press the ejector clips inwards until the locks snap.
4. Tighten the four security screws. It is recommended to tighten the screws in a "crisscross"
sequence (top right, bottom left, top left, bottom right).
5. Check the LED indicators.
