Installing an I/O expansion card You can add optional I/O expansion cards to your expansion unit to give the unit additional connections for communicating on a network. Attention: When you add an I/O expansion card, you must make sure that the I/O modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 on the SBCE unit both support the I/O expansion card network-interface type. The I/O expansion cards that are supported by the expansion unit are a standard form-factor and a small form-factor card. The Fibre Channel expansion card and the Gigabit Ethernet expansion card are available as small form-factor and standard form-factor I/O expansion cards. Complete the following steps to install an I/O expansion card: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page "Safety" on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 19. 2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the expansion unit from the SBCE unit (see "Installing a SCSI storage expansion unit" on page 33). 3. Carefully lay the expansion unit on a flat, non-conductive surface. 4. Open the cover (see "Opening the expansion unit cover" on page 38 for instructions). 39

Installing an I/O expansion card
You can add optional I/O expansion cards to your expansion unit to give the unit additional
connections for communicating on a network.
Attention:
When you add an I/O expansion card, you must make sure that the I/O modules in I/O
module bays 3 and 4 on the SBCE unit both support the I/O expansion card network-interface type.
The I/O expansion cards that are supported by the expansion unit are a standard form-factor and a
small form-factor card. The Fibre Channel expansion card and the Gigabit Ethernet expansion card
are available as small form-factor and standard form-factor I/O expansion cards.
Complete the following steps to install an I/O expansion card:
1.
Read the safety information beginning on page “Safety” on page iii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 19.
2.
Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the expansion unit from
the SBCE unit (see “Installing a SCSI storage expansion unit” on page 33).
3.
Carefully lay the expansion unit on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4.
Open the cover (see “Opening the expansion unit cover” on page 38 for instructions).
