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 information). 3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 22 for instructions). 5. If an IDE drive is in IDE connector 2, remove the drive and tray (save the screws that secured the tray to the system board); otherwise, remove the existing two rear-board mounting screws (near IDE connector 2). 6. Install the I/O expansion card: a. Install the I/O expansion card tray. Secure the tray to the system board with the screws from the option kit, as shown in the illustration. b. Orient the I/O expansion card, as shown in the illustration. c. Slide the notch in the narrow end of the card into the raised hook on the tray; then, gently pivot the wide end of the card into the I/O expansion card connectors, as shown in the illustration. Note: For device driver and configuration information to complete the installation of the I/O expansion card, see the documentation that comes with the option. Some documentation might also be on the IBM BladeCenter Documentation CD or the IBM BladeCenter T Documentation CD that comes with the blade server. 7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 35.
