To install or replace a mezzanine card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove a mezzanine card:
a. Power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server” section on
page 3-7.
b. Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies.
c. Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might
have to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
d. Remove the top cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section
on page 3-9.
e. Disconnect the cable harness from the connector on the top of the mezzanine card.
f. Use needle-nose pliers to pinch the three plastic standoff posts that hold the mezzanine card to the
motherboard. Pinching the top of the post provides clearance to lift the mezzanine card off the posts
(see Figure 3-28).
g. Lift up on both ends of the mezzanine card evenly to disengage its connector from the motherboard
socket.
Step 2 Install a mezzanine card:
a. Place the mezzanine card in the chassis, aligning the holes on the card with the three plastic standoff
posts on the motherboard.
b. Push down firmly on the card to fully engage the connector of the card with the motherboard socket.
c. Ensure that the holes in the card click down over the three plastic posts on the motherboard.
d. Reconnect the cable harness to the connector on the top of the mezzanine card.
e. Replace the top cover.
f. Replace the server in the rack, replace power cords and any other cables, and then power on the
server by pressing the Power button.
