Installing an I/O-expansion Card
You can install up to two I/O-expansion cards in the expansion unit to provide additional
connections for communicating on a network. The following illustration shows the
locations of the connectors and the different form factors of the supported I/O-expansion
cards in the expansion unit.
Before installing an I/O-expansion card, consider the following information:
•
The expansion unit supports two different form factors of I/O-expansion cards:
standard form factor (A) and small form factor (B).
•
Either a standard-form-factor or a small-form-factor card can be installed in each pair
of the shared connectors, (1 and 2).
•
The network-interface type of the I/O-expansion card must be supported by the
corresponding I/O modules in the SBCE unit.
—
Connector 1 provides a connection to SBCE unit I/O bays 1 and 2.
—
Connector 2 provides a connection to SBCE unit I/O bays 3 and 4.
To install an I/O-expansion card, complete the following steps:
1.
Read the Safety information beginning on page
vii
and
“Installation Guidelines” on
page 39
.
2.
If the host blade server and expansion unit are installed in a SBCE unit, complete the
following steps:
