Replacing a standard PCIe network adapter
WARNING!
To avoid bodily injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and its internal modules to cool before
touching them.
Guidelines
To install a standard PCIe network adapter, a riser card is required. For more information about riser
card and PCIe module compatibility, see
Appendix A Specifications and Support Information
.
Prerequisites
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
•
Wear antistatic clothing.
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Do not wear any conductive objects, such as jewelry or watches.
When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the pins
are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.

Replacing an OCP network adapter
WARNING!
To avoid bodily injury from hot surfaces, allow the server and its internal modules to cool before
touching them.
The OCP network adapter supports NCSI. By default, port 1 on the OCP network adapter acts as the
HDM shared network port. You can configure another port on the OCP network adapter as the HDM
shared network port from the HDM Web interface. For more information, see HDM online help.
