Installing a Standard-form-factor Expansion Card If a SAS drive is connected to SAS connector 1 (J137), you must remove it and the SAS drive tray before you can install a standard-form-factor expansion card and expansion card bracket on the system board (see "Removing a SAS Hard Disk Drive" on page 21). You cannot have both a drive that is connected to SAS connector 1 and a standard-formfactor expansion card installed in the system board of the blade server. If you are removing the SAS disk drive, backup any information on it that you want to keep to another storage device. If the SAS hard disk drive that is installed in SAS connector 1 is part of a RAID array, delete the SAS RAID array before removing the drive. When you delete the RAID array, the array configuration information is removed, but no data is deleted. The following illustration shows how to install a standard-form-factor expansion card.

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide
Installing a Standard-form-factor Expansion Card
If a SAS drive is connected to SAS connector 1 (J137), you must remove it and the SAS
drive tray before you can install a standard-form-factor expansion card and expansion
card bracket on the system board (see
“Removing a SAS Hard Disk Drive” on page 21
).
You cannot have both a drive that is connected to SAS connector 1 and a standard-form-
factor expansion card installed in the system board of the blade server. If you are
removing the SAS disk drive, backup any information on it that you want to keep to
another storage device.
If the SAS hard disk drive that is installed in SAS connector 1 is part of a RAID array,
delete the SAS RAID array before removing the drive. When you delete the RAID array,
the array configuration information is removed, but no data is deleted.
The following illustration shows how to install a standard-form-factor expansion card.
To install a standard-form-factor expansion card, complete the following steps:
1.
Read the safety information beginning on page
vii
and
“Installation Guidelines” on
page 15
.
2.
Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server
from the SBCE unit (see
“Removing the Blade Server from the Intel
®
Blade Server
Chassis SBCE” on page 16
for instructions).
3.
Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4.
Open the cover (see
“Opening the Blade Server Cover” on page 17
for instructions).
5.
If a Memory and I/O Expansion Blade is installed and you are installing the expansion
card on the system board, remove the expansion blade (see
“Removing an Expansion
Unit” on page 18
).
6.
If you are installing the expansion card in the system board and a drive is connected to
SAS connector 1, remove the drive and tray (see
“Removing a SAS Hard Disk Drive”
on page 21
for instructions), and save the screws that secure the tray to the system
board. Store the screws in a safe place.
