Installing and Configuring
Installing an Accessory Board
Use this procedure to install an accessory board.
1. If the server is operating, log off all users, back up files if necessary, and power down the
server.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any external cables connected to the server. If necessary,
label each one to expedite re-assembly.
WARNING: The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the HP server
until the power cord is disconnected.
3. Read the documentation included with the accessory board and follow any special
instructions. PCI boards must be set to INT A on the board if jumpers are provided.
NOTE:
Adding an accessory board to the HP server may alter the server’s boot order. This boot order
can be changed using the Setup Utility (pressing the
Delete
key during the boot process). Refer to
“Boot Priority” earlier in this chapter.
4. Open the side panel.
CAUTION:
Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface connected to the
chassis when handling components. Be sure the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
5. Remove any cables attached to the accessory board. If necessary, label each one to
expedite re-assembly.
6. Remove the IO locking bracket. Refer to Figure 2-20.
a. Lift the bracket up.
b. Rotate it outwards to detach it from the chassis.
