Optional mezzanine cards provide additional network connectivity or provide either Infini-Band or Fibre
Channel support. For mezzanine card locations, see the system board components (on page 7).
For mezzanine card signal mapping, see "Interconnect bay numbering and device mapping (on page
16)" and the installation instructions that ship with the server blade.
Because mezzanine cards are supported on multiple server blade models, the mezzanine card may have
captive screws that are not required to secure it to the server blade. When installing a mezzanine card in
this server blade, only two captive screws are required.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
To install the component:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 11).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 12).
3. Access the internal server components (on page 12).
4. Remove the mezzanine connector cover.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server blade, apply pressure over the mezzanine
connector when installing the mezzanine card. Do not apply pressure to the edges of the
card.
