To install a virtual media key, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 36.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and
external cables (see "Turning off the server" on page 21).
3. Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 43).
4. Align the mounting bracket on the rear of the virtual media key with the
mounting tab and slide it down the tab onto the virtual medial key connector on
the system board. Press the virtual media key down into the connector until it is
firmly seated on the system board.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 106.
