Mezzanine card
Optional mezzanine cards enable network connectivity or provide Fibre Channel support. For mezzanine
card locations, see the system board components (on page 53).
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.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server blade (on page 22).
2. Remove the server blade (on page 23).
3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 24).
4. Remove the mezzanine card.
To replace the component:
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the server blade, apply pressure over the mezzanine
connector when installing the mezzanine card. Do not apply pressure to the edges of the
card.
