Installing Blade Components

HT Bridge Card (Service Only)

An HT (hypertransport) bridge card must be installed in the third and fourth
CPU sockets on the PowerEdge M805 system board.

Consequently, if you replace the system board, you must transfer the HT
bridge cards to the replacement planar.

Removing an HT Bridge Card

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this
procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

1 Remove the blade. "Removing a Blade" on page 96.
2 Open the blade. See "Opening the Blade" on page 100.
3 Pull the socket-release lever straight up until the bridge card is released

from the socket. See Figure 3-22.

4 Open the processor shield and then lift the card out of the socket.
