modules are typically installed in I/O module bays 3 and 4 on the BladeCenter unit.
For example, if you add an Ethernet expansion card to a blade server installed in a
Type 8677 BladeCenter unit, the I/O modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 on the
BladeCenter unit must both be compatible with the expansion card. All other
expansion cards that are installed on other blade servers in the BladeCenter unit
must also be compatible with these I/O modules. In this example, you could then
install two Ethernet switch modules, two pass-thru modules, or one Ethernet switch
module and one pass-thru module. Because pass-thru modules are compatible with
a variety of I/O expansion cards, installing two pass-thru modules would enable the
use of several different types of compatible I/O expansion cards on blade servers
within the same BladeCenter unit.
The following sections describe how to install an I/O expansion card in the blade
server.
Installing a small-form-factor expansion card
Install a small-form-factor expansion card near SCSI connector 1 (J94). To install a
small-form-factor expansion card, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 19.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the
blade server from the BladeCenter unit. See “Removing the blade server from
the BladeCenter unit” on page 20 for instructions.
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the cover (see “Opening the blade server cover” on page 21 for
instructions).
5. Install the small-form-factor expansion card, as shown in the following
illustration.
