Replacing Blade Interposer Cards

The following sections describe how to replace blade interposer cards on R-series
blades.

R3040S Interposer Cards

The R3040S uses interposer cards to enable data and signal transmission from the
blade to the chassis backplane. Interposers are located on the bottom of the blade, as
shown in the following figure.

a PC Blade” on page 71. Place the blade on a stable surface, such as a table, so
that the interposers are facing up.
