Chapter 1. Introduction 5
6 Intel 10Gb 2-port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh): Installation Guide
Chapter 2. Installing an expansion card
This chapter provides instructions for installing an expansion card in your blade
server or expansion unit. The following documents provide related information:
v The Installation and User's Guide for your blade server or expansion unit provides
server-specific expansion-card installation requirements.
v The Installation and User's Guide for your BladeCenter unit shows I/O-module
bay locations.
v The Installation and User's Guide for your I/O module contains installation and
configuration instructions for the I/O module.
Installation guidelines
Before you install the expansion card, read the safety information that begins on
page v and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices.” This information
will help you work safely.
Make sure that you are using the latest versions of device drivers and firmware for
your blade server, management module, and I/O modules that are used by the
expansion card. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ for the latest
information about upgrading the device drivers and firmware for BladeCenter
components. See the latest instructions in the documentation that comes with the
updates.
Media Access Control addresses
Media Access Control (MAC) addresses have been assigned and installed on the
expansion card. Each port has a MAC address. These two base MAC addresses
(MAC 1 and MAC 2) are part of the expansion card vital product data (VPD). The
BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager (BOFM) application can update the two MAC
addresses for a specific blade server location.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the expansion card and other electronic
devices. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective
packages until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
v When you work on a BladeCenter unit that has an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
connector, use a wrist strap when you handle modules, optional devices, or
blade servers. To work correctly, the wrist strap must have a good contact at
both ends (touching your skin at one end and firmly connected to the ESD
connector on the front or back of the BladeCenter unit).
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2010 7
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to any unpainted
metal surface of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any
other grounded component in the rack you are installing the device in for at
least 2 seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server
without setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it
back into its static-protective package. Do not put the device on the blade server
cover or on a metal surface.
v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Installing the expansion card
Figure 1 on page 9 shows installation of the expansion card in a typical blade
server system board; the procedure for installing the card in an expansion unit is
similar. The appearance of your blade server or expansion unit might be different.
See the documentation that came with your blade server or expansion unit for
more information.
To install the expansion card, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and the guidelines in
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 7.
2. If the blade server is installed in the BladeCenter unit, remove it (see the
documentation that came with your BladeCenter unit for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Open the blade server cover or expansion-unit cover (see the documentation
that came with your BladeCenter unit for instructions).
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the expansion card to any
unpainted metal surface on the BladeCenter
surface on any other grounded rack component; then, remove the expansion
card from the package.
6. Check the blade expansion connector on both the expansion card and the
blade server for gray protective covers, and if present, remove them.
7. Hold the expansion card at an approximate 30° angle and slide the card into
mounting post until the card-guide holes are aligned with the locator pins on
the mounting posts. When the holes are properly aligned over the pins, the
card will pivot down slightly.
8. Press down firmly on the “Press to Install” label on the expansion card until
the connector on the expansion card is fully seated into the connector on the
blade server.
