Intel SBX82 manual Installing an I/O expansion card

9.Install a heat sink on the processor:

Attention:

•Do not set down the heat sink after you remove the plastic cover.

•Do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink. Touching the thermal grease will contaminate it. If the thermal grease on the processor or heat sink becomes contaminated, contact your service technician.

Heat sink Thermal grease

a.Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the heat sink.

b.Align and place the heat sink on top of the processor in the retention bracket, grease side down. Press firmly on the heat sink.

c.Using a screwdriver, secure the heat sink to the retention bracket on the system board using the two captive mounting screws. Press firmly on the screws and tighten them, alternating between them. Do not overtighten the screws. If you are using a torque wrench, tighten the screws to 8.5 to 13 Newton-meters (Nm) (6.3 to 9.6 foot-pounds).

10.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on page 43.

Installing an I/O expansion card

You can add I/O optional expansion cards to your blade server to give the blade server additional connections for communicating on a network.

Attention:

When you add an expansion card, you must make sure that the I/O modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 on the SBCE unit both support the expansion card network-interface type. For example, if you add an Ethernet expansion card to your blade server, the modules in I/O module bays 3 and 4 on the SBCE unit must both be compatible with the expansion card. All other expansion cards that are installed on other blade servers in the SBCE unit must also be compatible with these I/O modules. In this example, you could then install two Ethernet switch modules, two pass-thru modules, or one Ethernet switch module and one pass-thru module. Because pass-thru modules are compatible with a variety of I/O expansion cards, installing two pass-thru modules would enable the use of several different types of compatible I/O expansion cards within the same unit.
