Mezzanine Cards

Replacing a Mezzanine Card (Optional)
A mezzanine card is an optional component and can only be installed in an
8-sled system board.
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
System components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on systems that are still connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines
below to avoid damage to your system or injury to yourself.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the
system chassis. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the system chassis, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic system boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or
stress the system board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready
to use the component for the installation.
