Installing a Concurrent KVM card If the BladeCenter unit and management module support the concurrent-KVM function, you can add a Concurrent KVM Feature Card to the blade server system board. The following illustration shows how to install a Concurrent KVM expansion card in the blade server system board and also applies to the MPE. Concurrent KVM card If the BladeCenter unit supports concurrent-KVM (cKVM), you can add a cKVM card to the blade server. To install the cKVM card, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 17. 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 19 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 20 for instructions). 5. If you are installing the cKVM card on the blade server and an expansion unit is installed, remove the expansion unit (see "Removing an expansion unit" on page 21). 6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the expansion card to any unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack component; then, remove the expansion card from the package. 7. Install the cKVM card, as shown in the following illustration. 8. Locate the cKVM connectors and orient the cKVM card. 9. Slide the wide end of the card into the raised hook on the tray; then, gently pivot the card into the cKVM card connectors. 10. For device-driver and configuration information needed to complete the installation of the cKVM card, see the documentation that comes with the cKVM card. 11. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 36. Chapter 3. Installing options 35
