Installing a Personality Module

The CG2100 server support three different GbE I/O modules and a SAS I/O module as
separately orderable, optional accessories. For information about these options and
how to order them, see the Kontron CG2100 Carrier Grade Server Configuration Guide.
These I/O expansion modules are installed in the personality card slots accessible
from the rear of the chassis.

This section uses the 10-GbE I/O module as the example.

Before installing the personality module, you must remove the back chassis cover, the
PCI riser card assembly, and the processor air duct.

1.

Remove the back chassis cover. For instructions see “Removing the Back Cover” in

Section 3.2.

2.

Remove the riser card assembly (so the processor air duct can be removed). For

instructions see “Removing the Riser Card Assembly” in Section 3.2.

3.

Remove the processor air duct. For instructions, see “Removing the Processor Air

Duct” in Section 3.2.

4.

For the 10-GbE I/O module, both filler panels must be removed to support all the

ports.
Squeeze the sides of the module filler panel to remove it from the rear panel of
the chassis. (Figure 43, “A”)

Locate the three plastic standoffs on the server board or snap them into place if

they are not already installed. (Figure 44, “A”)

6.

7.

Slide the personality module under the rim of the rear panel and push the module

down onto the three standoffs and the two I/O connectors on the server board. (“C”)

8.

Tighten the two screws to secure the module and face plate to the chassis rear

panel. (“B”)

If this is the last task you are performing, replace the processor air duct, the

riser card assembly, and the back chassis cover.
Reconnect all the external devices and plug in the power cord(s).
