Card Installation
To Install an HCA Card:
1. Confirm that you have the correct card and three (3) screws.
2. Following the instructions from the SuperBlade Manual, remove the blade module
and open the cover to access the mainboard.
3. In a standard, electro-magnetically protected workstation, secure the card to the
serverboard by gently but firmly attaching the card to the two connectors.
4. Using a Phillips screw driver, secure and tighten each screw one at a time. Do not
overtighten the screws.
NOTE: The latest models of the Supermicro InfiniBand HCA card have a
smaller form factor to make them compatible with newer blade modules. The
newer HCAs come from the factory with an extender bracket attached to allow
installation in older blade modules.
For installation in newer blade modules, first remove the extender bracket by
removing the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver. Then follow the above
instructions for installation on the blade module itself.
