Intel SBX82 manual Installing a small form-factor expansion card

Page 43

✏Important

Installation of a standard form-factor expansion card can require removing the SCSI drive installed in SCSI connector 2 (J94). The standard form-factor expansion card occupies the same space as this SCSI drive and replaces it. You cannot have a SCSI drive in SCSI connector 2 when a standard form-factor expansion card is going to be installed. Refer to “Removing a SCSI hard disk drive” on page 23.

If the SCSI drive that is installed in SCSI connector 2 contains any information that you want to keep, back it up to another storage device.

If the SCSI hard disk drive that is installed in SCSI connector 2 is part of a RAID array, delete this SCSI RAID array configuration before removing the hard disk drive. When you delete the RAID array, the array configuration information is removed; no data is deleted.

There are two types of I/O expansion cards supported by the blade server:

•Gigabit Ethernet expansion card

•Fibre Channel expansion card

The Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel expansion cards are available as a small form-factor card and a standard form-factor card.

The following sections describe how to install an I/O expansion card in the blade server.

✏NOTE

You cannot install both sizes of I/O expansion cards in the same blade server. You can install the small form-factor expansion card in addition to having two SCSI hard disk drives, but you cannot install a standard form-factor expansion card into a blade server with two SCSI hard disk drives.

Installing a small form-factor expansion card

The small form-factor expansion option is installed near SCSI connector 2.

Complete the following steps to install the small form-factor expansion card:

1.Read the safety information beginning on page “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines” on page 19.

2.Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the SBCE unit (see “Installing and removing the blade server from the SBCE unit” on page 20 for information).

3.Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.

4.Open the cover (see “Opening the blade server cover” on page 20 for instructions).
