Installing A Concurrent Kvm Card - IBM LS42 - BladeCenter - 7902 Installation And User Manual

Installing a concurrent KVM card

If the BladeCenter unit and management module support the concurrent-KVM
function (cKVM), you can add a cKVM card to the blade server system board.
The following illustration shows how to install a concurrent KVM expansion card in
the blade server.
To install the cKVM card, complete the following steps:
b. Orient the CFFh card with the blade-expansion connector.
c. Tilt the CFFh card into the card retainer brackets toward the rear of the
blade server.
d. Press the CFFh card into the blade-expansion connector.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 17.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit" on page 19 for instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 20 for
instructions).
5. If you are installing the cKVM card in the blade server and an expansion unit is
installed, remove the expansion unit (see "Removing an expansion unit" on
page 21).
6. If any of the following expansion cards are installed, remove the card:
v Small-form-factor card (see "Removing a small-form-factor expansion card"
on page 34)
v Combination-form-factor card (see "Removing a combination-form-factor
expansion card" on page 36)
v High-speed expansion card (see "Removing a high-speed expansion card"
on page 36)
7. 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.
8. Locate the cKVM connectors and orient the cKVM card with the connector
(see "Blade server connectors" on page 14).
9. Slide the wide end of the card into the raised hook on the card tray; then,
gently pivot the card into the cKVM card connector.
