Installing a CIOv-form-factor expansion card Use these instructions to install a CIOv-form-factor expansion card in the blade server. The blade server supports a vertical-combination-I/O (CIOv) expansion card and a horizontal-combination-form-factor (CFFh) expansion card. The following illustration shows the location and installation of a CIOv expansion card. Attention: Before you install one of the following CIOv expansion cards in the blade server, make sure the PCIe speed is set to Gen1. You can configure the PCIe speed in the Setup utility by selecting System Settings and Devices and I/O Ports. v Ethernet Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter v QLogic 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter v SAS Connectivity Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter v ServeRAID-MR10ie (CIOv) Controller for IBM BladeCenter To install a CIOv expansion card, complete the following steps: 1.

Orient the connector on the expansion card with the CIOv expansion connector on the system board; then, press the card into the CIOv expansion connector. 8. Firmly press on the indicated locations to seat the expansion card. Note: For device-driver and configuration information to complete the installation of the expansion card, see the documentation that comes with the expansion card. Chapter 3. Installing options 47

Installing a CIOv-form-factor expansion card
Use these instructions to install a CIOv-form-factor expansion card in the blade
server.
The blade server supports a vertical-combination-I/O (CIOv) expansion card and a
horizontal-combination-form-factor (CFFh) expansion card. The following
illustration shows the location and installation of a CIOv expansion card.
Attention:
Before you install one of the following CIOv expansion cards in the
blade server, make sure the PCIe speed is set to Gen1. You can configure the PCIe
speed in the Setup utility by selecting
System Settings
and
Devices and I/O Ports
