Replacing an Ethernet adapter
Guidelines
The server supports both standard PCIe Ethernet adapters and sLOM Ethernet adapters.
You can install an sLOM Ethernet adapter only in the sLOM Ethernet adapter connector on the
system board. For more information about the connector location, see "System board components."
A riser card is required when you install a standard PCIe Ethernet adapter. For more information
about standard PCIe Ethernet adapter and riser card compatibility, see "Riser cards."
By default, port 1 on the sLOM Ethernet adapter acts as the HDM shared network port. You can
configure another port on the sLOM Ethernet adapter as the HDM shared network port from the HDM
Web interface. For more information, see HDM online help.
Replacing the sLOM Ethernet adapter
Removing an sLOM Ethernet adapter
1.
Power off the server. For more information, see "
2.
Disconnect cables from the Ethernet adapter.
3.
Loosen the captive screws and then pull the Ethernet adapter out of the slot.
Installing an sLOM Ethernet adapter
1.
Install the sLOM Ethernet adapter. Insert the sLOM Ethernet adapter into the slot along the
guide rails and then fasten the captive screws to secure the Ethernet adapter into place.
2.
Connect cables for the sLOM Ethernet adapter.
3.
Power on the server. For more information, see "
Replacing a standard PCIe Ethernet adapter
WARNING!
To avoid bodily injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and its internal modules to cool before
touching them.
Removing a standard PCIe Ethernet adapter
1.
Power off the server. For more information, see "
2.
Remove the server from the rack. For more information, see "
Removing the server from a rack
."
3.
Remove the access panel. Pressing the two unlock buttons on the access panel, slide the panel
toward the server rear, and then lift the panel to remove it.
4.
Disconnect cables that might hinder access to the riser card.
5.
Lift the riser card to remove it from the chassis.
6.
Remove the standard PCIe Ethernet adapter. Remove the screw that secures the standard
PCIe Ethernet adapter, and then pull the standard PCIe Ethernet adapter out of the slot.
Installing a standard PCIe Ethernet adapter
1.
Install the standard PCIe Ethernet adapter to the riser card. Insert the standard PCIe Ethernet
adapter into the slot along the guide rails and then fasten the screw to secure the Ethernet
adapter into place.
2.
Install the riser card on the target PCIe riser connector.
