Installing a Modular LOM
The Cisco VIC 1240 is a specialized modular Lan on Motherboard (mLOM) adapter that provides dual 2 x 10 Gb of Ethernet/ or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity to each chassis. It plugs into the dedicated mLOM connector only. It is currently the only card that can be plugged into the mLOM connector and it will provide connectivity through either a 2100 series or 2200 series IOM.
Note You must remove the adapter card to service the modular LOM.
To install an mLOM on the blade server, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Position the mLOM’s board connector above the motherboard connector and align the captive screw to the standoff post on the motherboard.
Step 2 Firmly press the modular LOM’s board connector into the motherboard connector.
Step 3 Tighten the captive screw.
Tip To remove a modular LOM, reverse the above procedure. You might find it helpful when removing the connector from the motherboard to gently rock the board along the length of the connector until it loosens.
