Overview

Use these instructions to install optional mezzanine cards.

Optional mezzanine cards are classified as Type I mezzanine cards

and Type II mezzanine cards. The type of the mezzanine card determines

where it can be installed in the server blade.

Install Type I mezzanine cards on Mezzanine 1 connector, Mezzanine

2 connector, or Mezzanine 3 connector.

Install Type II mezzanine cards on either Mezzanine 2 connector or

Mezzanine 3 connector.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow

the drives and the internal system components to cool before

touching them.

WARNING!

Reduce the risk of electric shock by removing all AC power from

the system before installing or replacing any non-hot-plug

hardware option. Disconnect all power cords to completely

remove power from the server.

CAUTION:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic

components. Be sure that you are properly grounded (earthed)

before beginning any installation procedure.

CAUTION:

Limit the number of times that a mezzanine card is installed

and removed within its lifecycle to prevent connector pin

damage.
