Installing and removing a mezzanine board

This server has two types of optional mezzanine boards. They include a
2-channel SAS mezzanine board and a 2-channel SAS mezzanine board with
RAID and battery backup.

To install an optional mezzanine board:

1

Follow the instructions in

“Preventing static electricity discharge” on

page 28

. Make sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power

cord(s) and all other cables connected to the server.

2

Follow the instructions in

“Opening the server case” on page 29

.

3

Set the chassis on its side to make it easier to work on.

4

Determine which connector the mezzanine board fits (PCI-E or PCI-X) and
position the board accordingly.

5

Align the holes on one side of the board with the plastic standoffs (1) and
the mezzanine board slot.

6

Push down on the board (2) to seat it in the mezzanine board slot and onto
the plastic standoffs until the retaining tabs snap into place.

7

Plug one end of a mini-SAS cable into one connector on the mezzanine
board and the other end into the mini-SAS connector on the hot-swap
backplane.
