Optional mezzanine cards are classified as Type I mezzanine cards and Type II mezzanine cards. The card
type determines where it can be installed in the server blade:
•
Install a Type I mezzanine card on any mezzanine connector.
•
Install a Type II mezzanine card on Mezzanine 2, 3, 4, and 6 connectors only.
Because mezzanine cards are supported on multiple server blade models, the mezzanine card may have
captive screws that are not required to secure it to the server blade. When installing a mezzanine card in this
server blade, only two captive screws are required.
