Mezzanine card option

Optional mezzanine cards provide additional network connectivity or provide Fibre Channel support. For
mezzanine card locations, see "System board components (on page

8

)."

For mezzanine card signal mapping, see "Interconnect bay numbering and device mapping (on page

16

)" and the installation instructions that ship with the server blade.

Optional mezzanine cards are classified as Type I mezzanine cards and Type II mezzanine cards. The

card type determines where it can be installed in the server blade:

Install a Type I mezzanine card on any mezzanine connector.

Install a Type II mezzanine card on Mezzanine 2 connector only.

Because mezzanine cards are supported on multiple server blade models, the mezzanine card may have

captive screws that are not required to secure it to the server blade. When installing a mezzanine card in
this server blade, only two captive screws are required.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the

internal system components to cool before touching them.

CAUTION:

Always wear an antistatic wrist strap when working inside the server.

1.
