Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 21. 2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 23 for instructions). 3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 24 for instructions). 5.

If a cover is installed on the blade expansion connector, remove it by using your fingers to lift the cover from the blade expansion connector. 7. 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. 8. Orient the expansion card and slide the slots at the back end of the card onto the pins on the expansion-card standoff; then, gently pivot the card into the blade server expansion connector. 9. Firmly press on the indicated locations to seat the expansion card. Chapter 3. Installing options 45
