Mezzanine Card Installation Instructions

Optional mezzanine cards are classified as Type I mezzanine cards and Type II mezzanine cards. The type of the mezzanine card determines where it can be installed in the server blade.

Install Type I mezzanine cards on Mezzanine 1 connector, Mezzanine 2 connector, or Mezzanine 3 connector.

Install Type II mezzanine cards on either Mezzanine 2 connector or Mezzanine 3 connector.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.

WARNING!

Reduce the risk of electric shock by removing all AC power from the system before installing or replacing any non-hot-plug hardware option. Disconnect all power cords to completely remove power from the server.
