INPSRTAELSLISNHGERCEARWDHEN Installing a standard-form-factor expansion card The following sections describe how to install an I/O expansion card in the blade server. The illustrations show installation of the I/O expansion cards in the system board: installing the cards in an expansion unit is similar. 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 22). Before you remove the drive, back up the data from the drive another storage device. If the drive that is connected to the SAS hard disk drive connector 1 is part of a RAID array, delete the SAS RAID array before you remove the drive. When you delete the 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. Standard-form-factor expansion card Expansion card bracket Hard disk drive tray To install a standard-form-factor expansion card, Complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 15. 2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 17 for instructions). 3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the blade server cover (see "Opening the blade server cover" on page 18 for instructions). 5. If a Memory and I/O Expansion Blade is installed, remove it (see "Removing an expansion unit" on page 19). 6. If you are installing the expansion card in the system board and a drive is connected to SAS hard disk drive connector 1, remove the drive and tray (see "Removing a SAS hard disk drive" on page 22 for instructions), and save the screws that secure the tray to the system board. Store the screws in a safe place. 7. Install the expansion-card bracket, if it is not already installed. Secure the bracket to the system board with the screws from the option kit or from the removed drive tray. Chapter 3. Installing options 31

Installing
a
standard-form-factor
expansion
card
The
following
sections
describe
how
to
install
an
I/O
expansion
card
in
the
blade
server.
The
illustrations
show
installation
of
the
I/O
expansion
cards
in
the
system
board:
installing
the
cards
in
an
expansion
unit
is
similar.
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
22).
Before
you
remove
the
drive,
back
up
the
data
from
the
drive
another
storage
device.
If
the
drive
that
is
connected
to
the
SAS
hard
disk
drive
connector
1
is
part
of
a
RAID
array,
delete
the
SAS
RAID
array
before
you
remove
the
drive.
When
you
delete
the
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.

page
19).
6.
If
you
are
installing
the
expansion
card
in
the
system
board
and
a
drive
is
connected
to
SAS
hard
disk
drive
connector
