Removing And Installing The Lan Module - IBM BladeCenter T 8720 Installation And User Manual

Removing and installing the LAN module

The LAN module is a hot-swap unit that is installed in the rear of the BladeCenter T
unit and is held in place by captive thumbscrews. The LAN module provides the
electrical and mechanical interface to the BladeCenter T system for the two local
area network (Ethernet) connections, as driven from each management module,
and the telco external alarms. This module contains two RJ45 connectors with
LEDs for the management interface and one DSUB 15P male telco alarm
connector. See the "LAN-module indicators and input/output connectors" on page
58 for more information.
Use the instructions in this section to remove or install the LAN module into the rear
of the BladeCenter T unit (see the illustration of the KVM and LAN modules on
page 39). The LAN module is held in place by captive thumbscrews. You can either
use your fingers or a screwdriver to install or remove the LAN module. If you use a
screwdriver, make sure that you do not overtighten the thumbscrews.
