Installing A Horizontal-Combination-Form-Factor Expansion Card - IBM BladeCenter HS22V Installation And User Manual

Installing a horizontal-combination-form-factor expansion card

Use these instructions to install a horizontal-combination-form-factor expansion
card in the blade server.
The following illustration shows how to install a horizontal-combination-form-
factor (CFFh) expansion card.
Attention: Do not install a CFFh expansion card in the blade server if an
expansion unit will be installed. The CFFh expansion card uses the
blade-expansion connector on your blade server.

To install a CFFh expansion card, complete the following steps:
1. Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on
page 19.
2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see
"Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 21 for
instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page
22 for instructions).
5. Locate the blade server expansion connector (see "Blade server connectors" on
page 18).
6. If a cover is installed on the blade expansion connector, remove it by using
your fingers to lift the cover from the blade expansion connector.
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. Orient the expansion card and slide the slots at the back end of the card onto
the pins on the expansion-card standoff; then, gently pivot the card into the
blade server expansion connector.
