NIC Hardware Key

iSCSI and other functionalities for the system’s embedded NICs are enabled
by installing an optional NIC hardware key in the ISCSI_KEY socket on the
system board.

WARNING:

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.

NOTE:

When future NIC functionality is supported, you must replace the original

NIC hardware key (if installed) with a new hardware key.

1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

2 Rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on a flat surface.
3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 85.
4 Remove the integrated storage controller card. See "Removing an

Integrated Storage Controller Card" on page 132.

5 Locate the ISCSI_KEY connector on the system board. See Figure 6-1.
6 Insert the NIC hardware key into the connector onto the board. See

Figure 3-20.
